"As a small peripheral hospital, we regularly use PharmaSwap, especially on the sales side. For expensive medication that we sometimes need for only one patient, this platform provides a solution. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that we order a costly course of medication specifically for a patient, which is then postponed or cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances."

"For example, recently we had to offer a package of Ninlaro 3mg, but the patient ultimately received a lower dosage. Thanks to PharmaSwap, this package could be picked up the same day by the courier for a colleague pharmacy that urgently needed the medication. This prevents waste, ensures the patient quickly receives the correct medication, and prevents us from being left with expensive leftovers. We also regularly purchase via PharmaSwap, precisely because we know how valuable it is to help colleagues and prevent waste. A win-win for everyone, including society."
