Abstract
This chapter aims to provide a summary of different approaches to the payment of pharmaceutical care that have been adopted in selected countries. Each of them is described in brief, with the ultimate goal of highlighting the pros and cons of each approach. The second part of the chapter elaborates on a possible solution to make pharmaceutical care not only a clinical activity which is essential to ensure the patient receives optimal therapy to attain better outcomes, but also to transform this practice into a profitable service. We believe this option is essential for pharmaceutical care to flourish worldwide.
