Our receiving and storage are done in places that are cause the tasks to be time-consuming and difficult. Our new pharmacy is a stand-alone building, centrally located in the hospital compound. It's been designed and built so that all the functions - managing, receiving, storing, and serving patients - will all be more efficient, faster, and easier for everyone. Patients will get medic
