The hospital has a central pharmacy that controls all the drug activity of the hospital. This pharmacy is controlled by three pharmacists – the superintendent pharmacist with a masters’ degree and two other certified pharmacists. There are many other pharmacy technicians and assistants. The pharmacy runs all day and has different outlets for easier distribution of drugs. The hospital pharmacy sources its drugs directly from different pharmaceutical companies, and not from the open market to ensure quality.
