Assessment of the feasibility of including community pharmacies under the regulation of the saudi food and drug authority
The study reveals strong sector-wide preference among pharmaceutical professionals for transitioning community pharmacy regulation to SFDA, driven by dissatisfaction with current MOH oversight. This consensus across all professional categories and experience levels indicates practitioners' expectations that SFDA regulation would enhance pharmaceutical service quality and regulatory effectiveness in Saudi Arabia.
