The role of community pharmacists with Syrian migration background in addressing healthcare needs of migrant population in Germany: a qualitative study

This study explored the role of migrant pharmacists, particularly those from Syria, in addressing the healthcare needs of migrants in Germany. Their ability to communicate in both Arabic and German and to understand cultural nuances is a key asset that helps overcome language barriers, making them an invaluable resource for migrant patients. The research highlighted the multifaceted nature of the pharmacists' roles, which extend beyond dispensing medicines, bridging gaps in healthcare access through culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate services. The study also shed light on the adaptive strategies and recommendations for strengthening the role of migrant pharmacists.
