One, airports have infirmaries, so theoretically there is no need to go to the airport to buy medicine, unless you need emergency assistance.
Two, airport rent is more expensive, and less profit is made from opening a pharmacy.
Third, many medications are not allowed in the security area or are not accepted in the destination city.
Importance of airport infirmary:
The infirmary is the place where medical services are provided. Its main responsibility is to keep drugs and medical equipment, strict procedures for entry and exit, so that the accounts match. The infirmary is the place where the medical staff work, and the infirmary usually stores simple medical equipment.
The airport's medical department purchases medicines in strict accordance with the regular medical procurement process, and all medicines purchased have been put into storage and put on the shelves.
After the airport and the stationed unit employees can hold the medical insurance card in the airport infirmary to enjoy free registration fee, free consultation fee, drug "zero price increase" and other preferential medical policies. According to the medical insurance policy requires out-of-pocket expenses for medicines, the follow-up will also provide a scanning code payment channels, so that all employees do not go out of the airport for minor illnesses, you can enjoy convenient, fast, affordable services.
