New Satellite Pharmacy at the General Hospital of Tailândia Offers More Agility and Safety
The initiative aims to streamline the distribution of medications, optimizing internal flows and allowing closer monitoring of patients
The General Hospital of Tailândia (HGT) has implemented a new Satellite Pharmacy, representing a significant advancement in the qualification of the healthcare services provided, especially in the inpatient clinics and the Hemodialysis Center. The initiative aims for the dispensing of materials and medications with agility and safety, both for continuous use with pre-established schedules and for those requested according to specific demands from the sectors.
The decentralization of the hospital pharmacy is a strategy that seeks to streamline the distribution of medications, optimizing internal flows and allowing for closer and more efficient monitoring of patients. The measure also reinforces the support provided to multidisciplinary teams, especially in areas that work directly with patients undergoing renal therapy.
According to pharmacist Aline de Morais, the technical manager of the Pharmacy Sector at HGT, the implementation of the Satellite Pharmacy reinforces the unit's commitment to patient-centered care, which "requires immediate and quality assistance. This change represents a turning point, not only in clinical and healthcare but also in the overall operational process, especially by ensuring the safe dispensing of medications."
Optimization - In just the first five months of 2025, the three pharmacies already implemented at HGT distributed more than 192,000 medications and 41,000 units of serum, serving various sectors of the unit. With the creation of the Satellite Pharmacy, the expectation is that these numbers will be further optimized.
For the executive director of HGT, Eduardo Pereira, this achievement is the result of a collective effort. “It was a team effort. We recognize and thank everyone who contributed to this accomplishment. This is a collective gain, the result of coordinated work between employees and healthcare teams. Thus, we reinforce our commitment to the health of the population we serve,” said the manager.
Approval - Patient Rosy Bezerra, who has been hospitalized for more than 10 days in the medical clinic of HGT, highlighted the benefits of the new Satellite Pharmacy. “I found the change very good, especially for those like me who have diabetes and need medication frequently. Now, the medications can arrive even faster, and the professionals do not need to walk much and gain more time during work,” said the patient.
The General Hospital of Tailândia - a unit of the state public health network - has 51 beds and maintains an Intermediate Care Unit (ICU) with nine beds, six for adults and three for pediatrics. Users served by the Unified Health System (SUS) have access to the services offered by HGT through the Municipal Regulation Center, and to emergency services on a walk-in basis or referred by Samu, the Military Fire Brigade, and the Highway Police.
