The transformation briefing highlighted several key initiatives aimed at enhancing the efficiency and service quality within the pharmacy department. The event covered the relocation plans of the Outpatient Pharmacy and PharmUMMC to KPPL, as well as the automation of medication dispensing at both the outpatient pharmacy and within hospital wards. Additionally, major renovation projects were discussed.  Ultimately, this transformation will lead to improved workflow, reduced waiting times, and enhanced collaboration among taskforce teams, elevating the overall quality of pharmaceutical services within the department.

Project ‘Bag Your Meds’ by Team Green Initiative, Pharmacy Department UMMC is a dedicated rack that has been placed at the side of the tunnel (next to PharmUMMC) to collect recyclable or paper bags for patient use.

Through this initiative, patients and staff are encouraged to donate clean, reusable bags to the rack. These bags will be made available for patients who need them—helping reduce single-use plastic waste and promoting a culture of sustainability.
