NorthMart Iqaluit Pharmacy prescription services update

Winnipeg, MB, November 9, 2018 – The NorthMart Pharmacy in Iqaluit, NU will remain closed until further notice as a result of the fire which damaged the NorthMart store on November 8th. NorthMart is working closely with other healthcare providers, such as ValuPharm Drugs, the QGH hospital pharmacy, and up-island health centres to ensure patient care is maintained.

Iqaluit residents requiring prescription services should contact the Rapid Access Clinic at the Qikiqtani General Hospital to obtain new prescriptions (867-975-8600 ext. 5425) or ValuPharm Drugs (867-979-0655). Up-island residents can contact their local health centres.

NorthMart Pharmacy is supporting other providers in obtaining new prescriptions for residents. As new information and services become available, NorthMart will be communicating to other providers and affected stakeholders and will update the public via the media and on Facebook and Twitter.

“NorthMart Pharmacy appreciates your patience and understanding as we work to restore service,” said Tim Smith, Director, Pharmacy Operations, The North West Company.
