The effective pharmacy management system at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) is maintained by ensuring a sterile intravenous solution preparation area and a separate cytotoxic drug preparation area. The AKUH main pharmacy at the Stadium Road campus is a state-of-the-art facility that provides innovative clinical services to patients. It helps in preventing any medication errors and makes the distribution process more seamless by having pharmacies located within hospital floors and wards. It is one of the few pharmacies in Pakistan to offer this innovation.
Our pharmacies also have certified and trained pharmacists working in close collaboration with hematologists in the Blood Clotting Prevention (anti-coagulation) Clinic. They make sure to prescribe the correct dosage as well as other precautions for patients on oral anti-coagulant therapy.
