Pharmacy

Almadina began as a pharmacy company in 1996, so this department is where the hospital's story started. We stock medicines from reputable manufacturers and licensed distributors, and a pharmacist checks every prescription before it is dispensed.

What we do

• Dispense prescriptions from Almadina doctors and from outside prescribers.
• Explain how and when to take each medicine, and what to do if you miss a dose.
• Supply medicines covered under NHIA and HMO plans, according to your plan's list.
• Keep essential medicines, medical consumables and over-the-counter products in stock.

Bringing a prescription from elsewhere

Bring the original prescription and, if you are covered by NHIA, your NHIA card. If a medicine is out of stock we will tell you when it can be ready or suggest an alternative your prescriber can approve.

Questions about your medicines
