The new construction of the central pharmacy at the Rudolf Virchow Clinic in Glauchau will receive 2.55 million euros in funding from the Free State of Bavaria. "The safe and fast supply of medicines is of central importance for every hospital," said Health Minister Petra Köpping (SPD) at the presentation of the funding decision, according to a press release. The new pharmacy building is "a decisive step towards ensuring the long-term security of supply in the region".

The new building is intended to ensure the supply of medicines, medical products and consumables to the hospital and three other regional healthcare facilities. The total costs amount to around 4.8 million euros.

The new hospital pharmacy building will create an environment for future-proof drug prescriptions and dispensing, said Christian Wagner, Managing Director of the hospital. According to the ministry, the new building will not only cover current needs, but will also be designed to meet future requirements.
