Introduction: The National Oncology Institute of Morocco's (NIO) shift to an automated cytotoxic drug preparation system (PHARMODUCT®) has prompted an evaluation of its economic and clinical impacts compared to traditional manual methods.
Methods: A retrospective cost-benefit analysis over six months, extrapolated to annual projections, assessed initial investments, labour, equipment, drugs and consumables. Four commonly used chemotherapy drugs were analyzed, with a focus on the cost implications of drug waste in manual preparation versus the efficiency of vial-sharing in automated methods.
