1. Ethiopia
And here is the country that is without a doubt by far the most desperate among pharmacist shortage countries in need of pharmacists in 2017. The countries are in random order, but if there was a competition, Ethiopia would be the absolute winner. Do you remember that talk about the number of inhabitants and pharmacists? At the global level, the average number is 4,182 people per pharmacy. In Ethiopia, there are 130,385 people per pharmacy. As you can see, saying that Ethiopia is in need of pharmacists is an understatement. It is absolutely desperate for more medical staff.
