Organization of pharmacy

The aim of work – definition of problematic aspects concerning the legal and normative provision of the organization of the pharmacy’s activity, the formulation of proposals for its improvement. Materials and methods. The materials of the research are modern regulatory acts and technical documents regulating the activities of pharmacies. The methods of information retrieval, analysis, systematization and generalization were used. Conclusions. On the basis of the carried-out analysis, it can be concluded that the system of organization of pharmacy activity is regulated, separate normative-legal acts are duplicated in normative documents. On the other hand, some issues of implementation of activities remained neglected, in particular, the special legal acts did not regulate the question of the construction and structure of the quality management system at the pharmacy facilities, although this system is subject to state control. Taking into account the above, an urgent solution arises the issue of systematization of regulatory documents on the organization of pharmacy establishments in the direction of harmonization of norms, elimination of duplication, collisions, gaps. In the regulation of any process, relations should not be quantity, but quality. The regulation of the activities of pharmacies, which is directly related to the state and society's implementation of the most important function – protection of human life and health – must be carried out properly at the legislative level.
