King Saud Medical City (KSMC), represented by the Pharmaceutical Services Department, has dispensed over 1.3 million prescriptions during the first half of this year.
KSMC stated that an internal pharmacy has recently been inaugurated in the Obstetrics, Gynecology and Children’s Tower, in addition to a sub-pharmacy that serves inpatients in critical care departments. Moreover, several initiatives were activated during that period, including a virtual scientific symposium for health practitioners, which addressed the latest health protocols and developments, as well as the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine, in addition to several lectures on treatment methods of chronic diseases. Furthermore, the role of pharmacists in exit halls was activated, as they would provide pharmaceutical advice to patients. In addition, the total number of beneficiaries of the medication mail delivery service amounted to 9,544 during that period.
Noteworthy, the Pharmaceutical Services Department provides its services to inpatients, emergency department patients, as well as clinic outpatients.
