Pharmacy
The hospital has an onsite pharmacy department
providing patient medications.
When coming to hospital as a patient,
please bring all medications you currently take, in their
original containers and packaging. You should also
bring your prescriptions for these medications if there
is a chance that you will run out during your time in
hospital.
Your health insurance may not cover the cost
of the hospital dispensing medication that is not related to your
reason for being in hospital. This means that you may be charged
for each item if you do not have your own supply. You may also
be charged for medicines dispensed as discharge medication.
Pharmacists are available to discuss your
medicines with you. Please ask questions until you are sure
you understand your medications.
The pharmacy is only able to supply services
and medications to admitted patients, not to visitors, family or
staff.
For further information, please contact the Pharmacy Department
on 5434 3220 or via fax on 5434 3279.
