Their vision is to enhance the pharmacy’s offering by partnering with an organisation that shares their passion for exceptional, service-driven healthcare.
At Schuin Villa Pharmacy, one philosophy has always guided everything they do: “We Are Different.” This commitment to putting patients first, delivering personalised care and continually seeking better ways to serve the community remains at the heart of the pharmacy.
“This partnership with UniCare 24/7 Trusted Health is a natural extension of that commitment, enabling Schuin Villa Pharmacy to broaden its healthcare offering while remaining true to the values that have defined the pharmacy for many years.
Through this partnership, Schuin Villa Pharmacy will benefit from UniCare’s integrated healthcare model, providing access to an expanded range of specialised medical services, specialised medical equipment, innovative healthcare solutions and operational expertise. This collaboration creates exciting opportunities to broaden the pharmacy’s offering while continuing to deliver exceptional care to the Gqeberha community.
The partnership also creates the opportunity to extend trading hours in the future, making quality healthcare even more accessible and convenient for patients.
Importantly, customers can be reassured that the things they value most will remain unchanged.
The trusted team, personalised service and commitment to patient care that have made Schuin Villa Pharmacy a respected name in the community will continue. The primary operational change customers will notice is the implementation of a new pharmacy IT system, designed to improve efficiency, enhance the patient experience and support future growth.
Speaking on the partnership, Sonia Saayman and Annalize Fourie said:
