Abstract: Introduction: The inadequate structural conditions of pharmacies pose challenges to the implementation of pharmaceutical care interventions within the realm of primary health care. Periodic assessment of the structural components of these environments is pivotal for optimizing the quality of rendered pharmaceutical services. The aim of this study was to discern the impact of pharmacy structure on the quality of pharmaceutical services in Basic Health Units. Methods: This constitutes an integrative review encompassing six stages: formulation of the research question, literature exploration, data collection, critical analysis of studies, results discussion, and review presentation. The search strategy spanned the BVS and Periódicos Capes databases utilizing descriptors pertinent to health care quality, service infrastructure, primary health care, pharmaceutical care, pharmacy, and pharmaceutical services. Results: The initial inquiry unveiled 27 publications, culminating in the inclusion of two articles for comprehensive analysis. In general, the studies identified deficiencies in the structural aspects of the examined pharmacies, particularly pertaining to physical facilities and human resources. Conclusions: A well-structured framework is imperative for ensuring the quality of pharmaceutical services in Basic Health Units. The absence of standardization may lead to disparities, underscoring the necessity for investments in pharmacy infrastructure across diverse regions of Brazil. It is noteworthy that the structural attribute is directly correlated with the quality of health care. It is apprehended that an adequate structure culminates in a fitting process, thereby yielding favorable outcomes. Further investigations are warranted to diagnose deficiencies and formulate strategies aimed at augmenting excellence in pharmaceutical services catering to the population.
