Saudi Arabia opens first smart pharmacy

21/07/2018 Argaam

 

Prince Fahd bin Sultan, governor of Tabuk region, inaugurated on Thursday the Kingdom’s first robot-operated pharmacy at King Fahd Specialist Hospital.

 

The smart pharmacy can dispense 1,500 packages of medicine per hour, store over 20,000 packages, reject expired drugs, and deal with 240 prescriptions per hour.

 

Adopting this technology aims to save time, reduce errors, and ensure safety and better control over drug inventories.

 

One of the pharmacy’s six outlets is dedicated to serve people with disabilities.
