The decision of locating health services such as health care services or pharmaceutical services not only in terms of costs to users but also determining the spatial distribution of demand for residential development in the city is important and has a noticeable effect.
The aim of this research work was oriented to study the geographical distribution of pharmacies and their spatial coverage to identify how it is cover the study area and to what extent. Khartoum locality was selected to run this research work.
Results showed that pharmaceutical service does not cover all residential areas and it is not well distributed over the locality. Beside that a shortcoming of 94% of the required service was appeared. Moreover, existing pharmaceutical service coverage is one pharmacy for each 1,331 person, where it should be one pharmacy for each 78 person according to distribution standards.
