As a member of the therapeutic team, pharmacists should be directly involved in patient healthcare. Many studies over the last few years have shown that pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care services can enhance patients’ clinical status and health care outcomes. However, differences exist between developing and developed countries in the accepted scope of pharmacists' professional services. The expansion of the pharmacist's role can lead to significant changes in patient perceptions. Advancements in pharmacy practice and the incorporation of professional services are gaining attention in developing countries. This review aims to analyze pharmacists’ and public views and attitudes towards the role of pharmacists in healthcare to find the best ways to support and improve the services. Studies investigating public or pharmacist views on pharmacists' roles or pharmacy services from 2010 to 2021 have been considered and reviewed.
