APOTHEEK JORDAAN

 

Medicijnman Apotheek Jordaan, located at Westerstraat 150 in Amsterdam, is a unique pharmacy that blends traditional healing roles with modern medical expertise. Led by Mw. F. Hulshof, PharmD MSc., this pharmacy is committed to providing excellent healthcare to its community.

 

The name “Medicijnman” translates to “medicine man” or “shaman.” Traditionally, shamans were healers and seers who supported their communities through natural remedies and spiritual practices. Although today’s methods are based on scientific medicine rather than magic, Medicijnman Apotheek Jordaan still holds a vital role in the community, helping people manage everything from minor ailments like earaches to serious conditions such as cancer and providing support during end-of-life care.

 

Medicijnman Apotheek Jordaan is open from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM and 1:15 PM to 5:30 PM. This schedule allows flexibility for patients to visit at convenient times. Emphasising a philosophy of being “close to people,” the pharmacy ensures a welcoming and supportive environment where every visitor feels valued and cared for.

 

Each pharmacist at Medicijnman is fully certified with a BIG registration and a government endorsement confirming their practice qualifications. This ensures the highest standard of patient care. Furthermore, the pharmacy is part of Amsterdam Farma BV, which includes a central filling pharmacy in Almere that handles medication ordering and labelling for all Medicijnman locations, enhancing service efficiency.

 

Overall, Medicijnman Apotheek Jordaan is more than just a place to pick up medicine; it is a community cornerstone that combines personal attention with professional healthcare to ensure every patient receives the best possible care.
