UAE's BinSina Pharmacy showcases its products at
Arab Health
(Dubai Health & News) BinSina Pharmacy is the only pharmacy
of the 1,400 operating in the UAE that has showcased its latest product
offerings at the 2008 Arab Health Show, which was held this past week in
Dubai.
"Being the region's premier healthcare event, we felt it is
imperative to participate at this year's Arab Health Show. Our
commitment to improving the pharmaceutical sector in the region stems
from our solid position as the Middle East's leading pharmacy,"
said Ayman Hanbali, Marketing Manager, BinSina Pharmacy.
The UAE tops the list of Gulf and other Arab countries in annual per
capita consumption of medicines. With a growing population mainly
dominated by expatriates, the UAE has given rise to a rapidly growing
and vibrant market for quality healthcare products and services.
BinSina Pharmacy is noted for being one of the early adopters of
advanced information technology solutions to help revolutionize both the
healthcare system and the nation's pharmaceutical supply chain.
Hanbali added: "We displayed our series of initiatives in deploying
an automated Pharmacy Management System (PMS) and labeling system in all
our outlets around the UAE, at the show. We firmly believe that having
an electronic medication record for every individual is a critical step
towards achieving true healthcare excellence through giving its
pharmacists real-time data that ensure safety and efficiency. With many
customers in the UAE relying on different medications, a BinSina
pharmacist has to have an accurate and up-to-date medication list for
every patient to avoid the potentially harmful effects of a negative
drug interaction and to check contraindications between old and new
medications."
"We have also urged other pharmacies to adopt the skills and
know-how to drive the change in the way they offer their services with
the growth and proliferation of electronic health records and systems in
healthcare today."
BinSina currently operates 30 pharmacies in the UAE.
