Pharmacy’s' Missions In The Hospital

Our pharmacy plays an important role in medication management that includes the process of selecting, procuring, delivering, prescribing, administering, and reviewing medicines to optimize the contribution to informed and desired outcomes.

We strive to ensure the 7 "rights" are respected in all medicine-related processes affecting hospital patients: right patient, right dose, right route, right time, a right drug with the right information.
