Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to research the standards for quality of pharmacy services included in national and international
guidelines on good pharmacy practice. The documents were investigated using the comparative method and methods of legal
interpretation. The Joint FIP/WHO Guidelines recommend national standards for procurement, storage, preparation, dispensing,
medication therapy management and improving effectiveness of the health-care system and public health. The Romanian
regulations establish standards for procurement, storage, preparation, dispensing, patient information and the rational use of
medicines. However, they could be optimized by setting out standards for quality of the role of pharmacists in providing
medication therapy management as well as their contribution to improving the effectiveness of the national health-care system.
