“Hikma is committed to providing high-quality, affordable medicines that help ASHP’s 45,000 members, who include pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, in their work to improve medication use and enhance patient safety,” said Daniel Motto, Executive Vice President of Hikma’s US Injectables Division.

This year, Hikma will be exhibiting at Booth #567. Hikma will also be sponsoring the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) symposium “Hidden Perioperative Medication Safety Risks: A Time for Pharmacy Involvement,” featuring renowned medication safety expert and ISMP Founder and President Michael R. Cohen. The symposium is scheduled to take place on Monday, December 3rd, 2018 from 11:30am-1:00pm at the Anaheim Convention Center (ACC North) Room 261, 200 Level. Copies of the presentation will be available in the Hikma booth.

Motto continued, “We fully support The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP’s) mission to advance patient safety by empowering the healthcare community and consumers to prevent medication errors. At Hikma, we are committed to helping put better health within reach, every day. That means focusing on providing a broad and deep portfolio of quality medicines that are available to doctors, pharmacists and hospitals when and where they are needed.”

Hikma has also demonstrated its support for US hospital pharmacists through its efforts to help address a variety of US drug shortages. During the last three years, Hikma has made investments, hired staff and increased manufacturing capacity in order to launch close to 20 medicines into shortage situations. In 2016 the FDA recognized Hikma with its Drug Shortage Assistance Award for the company’s role in alleviating drug shortages.
