Ground Floor, Arwyp Medical Centre, Pine Street entrance
011 922 1313 Pharmacy manager 011 922 1304 |  | | | The Arwyp Medical Centre's 24 hour emergency pharmacy was designed to support the casualty department of the hospital. However, as a service to the East Rand community it also operates as a retail pharmacy which is open to members of the public 24 hours a day. The emergency pharmacy is conveniently situated at the Pine Street main entrance of the hospital.
Due to the fact that the pharmacy procures supplies for the medical centre, it has a wider range of medical products not normally stocked by commercial retail pharmacies. East Rand and Kempton Park residents have come to rely on the Arwyp Medical Centre's 24 hour pharmacy to supply less commonly accessible items such as wound dressings, urine bags, catheters, urology devices and colostomy bags.
The pharmacy charges dispensing fees in accordance with the Medicines and Related Substances Control Amendment Act (No 90 of 1997). The regulations set out four price bands for medicines, excluding VAT, each with its own maximum fee. The regulations apply to all medicines sold in a pharmacy except those classed as schedule 0.
The retail pharmacy operates as a service to East Rand doctors and their patients. There may be times when customers have to wait to be attended to. The pharmacy is extensively used by visitors to the hospital and members of staff. The pharmacy also sells television headphones for patients admitted to the hospital, emergency pregnancy kits and contraceptive products.
