ScriptPro Pharmacy Automation Installed in Premier Middle East Hospital

MISSION, KS, USA — King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has begun operating its main outpatient pharmacy with ScriptPro’s SP Central Workflow and Robotic Prescription Dispensing systems. KFSH is a leading healthcare institution in the Middle East, providing specialized medical services and promoting medical research and education.

ScriptPro worked closely with KFSH personnel in Kansas City and in Saudi Arabia to plan and implement the system. Saudi technicians are fully trained to maintain the automation with support from ScriptPro’s 24X7 Help Desk that now covers 10 countries. Prescription labels display patient information, instructions for use, and auxiliary information in Arabic. English and a number of other languages are optional on the labels for this internationally prominent hospital.

ScriptPro’s global drug database is automatically updated to the KFSH system every few days, providing drug images and descriptions for prescription verification. The database handles specialized compounds and clinical trial drugs as well as medical supplies that are critical in obtaining optimum outcomes from complex drug therapies.

The system was recently featured on Al Arabiyah and Elekhbarya TV, and in the Al Riyadh Newspaper. Links to these reports are below.
