Pharmacist Cho Sung-hoon (Femiri Pharmacy), which marks its 11th anniversary this year, has been operating a pharmacy based at the Korea Rare Essential Medicine Center in Incheon for three years.
The Korea Rare Essential Medicines Center's base pharmacy is operated to supply medical hemp to rare and incurable patients nationwide. It is a method of storing drugs delivered by the center in pharmacies according to the storage method, receiving confirmation documents when visiting patients, and delivering pre-applied drugs, patient receipts and medication guides to patients.
Pharmacist Cho Sung-hoon, who worked at a pharmaceutical company after graduating from a pharmacy, opened a pharmacy in his current place by chance. He has been guarding the area as a regular pharmacist and a regular pharmacy for patients for 11 years.
Pharmacist Cho ran the base pharmacy for only one patient with childhood epilepsy whose condition rarely improved. The patient, who had not improved even with fragrance medicine, was forced to use rare drugs, and the guardian had to visit the rare drug center to receive the medicine because it took several hours.
The guardian eventually asked Cho for help. Afterwards, Cho learned about the system called "base pharmacy" and completed registration immediately.
It started for one patient, but now it has become a "precious pharmacy" that relieves the inconvenience of patients suffering from rare diseases in each part of Incheon.
Pharmacist Cho said, "I started looking for a way to relieve the patient's pain even a little, but now they know and visit base pharmacies in Incheon, including Songdo and Yeongjongdo. I know base pharmacies in the metropolitan area have the highest number of cases."
"I received medicine for one person, but it suddenly increased, and now about 15 patients are visiting regularly a month. The age group ranges from children to old age," he said. "The center sends the medicine about twice a week and takes care of it a lot."
Pharmacist Cho says he is always touched by the operation of the base pharmacy. In particular, it is the most rewarding that warm words such as "thank you" are the driving force and the patient's condition improves.
Pharmacist Cho said, "Rare drugs are an option to choose when the condition gets worse. Patients say they are grateful that their accessibility has improved, but rather, they have a greater driving force to gain as a pharmacist through them," and explained, "So I hope that the options for rare drug treatment will be more diverse."
Pharmacist Cho was recently awarded the commendation from the Minister of Food and Drug Safety at the 38th World Drug Elimination Day in recognition of his contribution to the operation of the base pharmacy.
Pharmacist Cho said, "I only put a spoon on the well-prepared table. I think I won a good award because the center played a good role. It's clichéd, but I think this expression is appropriate. I want to continue to help more patients through base pharmacies."
Pharmacist Cho Sung-hoon is also famous for developing an app that combines IT technology with pharmacy management.
Last year, he developed a drug manager that covers the number of pills, identification and stock (return) management services. The number of pills has exploded in just one year since its opening, rapidly building awareness within the pharmacist community.
His goal is to help pharmacists through services that are provided free of charge to pharmacies. Although the methods of developing applications and pharmacies are different, they are looking in the same direction in terms of providing 'more comfortable and better services'.
"What I thought after graduation was that I should contribute more to society," Cho said. "Because I became a pharmacist unexpectedly, but I think I have received a lot from society. I want to contribute to society as much as I can."
"I think it can be seen from the perspective of drug managers and base pharmacies to focus more on their capabilities and provide services," he said. "We have a lot of 10-year regulars. We talk a lot with patients as if we are sitting and chatting. We will try to make it more convenient for even one patient who comes to us and gets more health information."
