100% Saudisation of pharmacies possible?
Saudi Arabia's decision to sourced different fields of pharmacy is being discussed among experts in the sector.

According to the Complaint newspaper, Saudi experts have said that "the decision to satirize the pharmacy profession is important. Pharmaceutical and medical accessories are associated with the sector. All these sectors are huge profits. They can employ Saudi youth on good salaries for many years. '

By the end of 2018, the proportion of pharmacy saudisation has not gone beyond six percent. There are many other areas that can be sourced. The first will be the sourdisation of the pharmacies where more than five pharmacists are working.

According to Saudi expert Hussein Bin Hamd al-Raqib, 100% of pharmacies are less likely to implement the Saudiization decision. 

He asked the question: Can Saudi Pharmacy Colleges provide the required number of pharmacists during the prescribed period?

Hussein al-Raqib himself answered the question, 'To my knowledge this is not possible because more than 2400 pharmacists are being produced in a year, 50% of them are consumed in public institutions.'

By the end of 2018, the number of pharmacists working in public institutions was 6650. Of these, 1023 were foreign.

If we only see the increasing demand for pharmacists in public health institutions over the next two years, there will not be enough pharmacists available in the next two years to meet our needs.

The Saudi expert said that the difficulty is that on the one hand we have to bring in the place of foreign pharmacists who are already working, and on the other hand the demand for pharmacists is increasing every year.

"The supply of Saudi pharmacists at both levels does not seem possible because the required number of pharmacists is not ready."
