Therefore, many countries are introducing or undertaking major transformations in pharmacy education. The World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and the International Pharmaceutical Federation Education Development Team (FIPEd) are working together with the aim of improving global pharmacy education and have developed a "needs-based education model" (Anderson al., 2010).

Two focus group discussions with ten students (Five participants per group), lasting an average of one hour were audiotaped in June 2017. checked for accuracy and the transcripts analysis.
