harmacy is a specialized department within a hospital or medical facility that focuses on the safe and effective distribution of medications to patients. It plays a crucial role in the healthcare system by ensuring that patients receive the correct medications in the appropriate doses, as prescribed by their healthcare providers.

1. Medication Dispensing: Hospital pharmacies dispense medications to inpatients, outpatients, and sometimes to emergency room patients. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians work together to accurately prepare and label medications according to the doctor’s orders.

2. Medication Safety: Ensuring patient safety is a top priority in hospital pharmacies. Pharmacists review medication orders to check for potential drug interactions, allergies, and appropriate dosing. They also collaborate with healthcare providers to make necessary adjustments and recommendations.
