Duke Raleigh Hospital to use mobile cleanroom to assure uninterrupted pharmacy services


Duke Raleigh Hospital is the first healthcare facility to use a certified  mobile cleanroom to assure uninterrupted pharmacy services, according to an article on the News Medical website.

The unit allows the hospital to maintain separate, on-site sterile drug compounding operations during a major renovation project.
