I don't know of any hospital pharmacy that has a full fledge biochemistry lab and production facility.

Drug production is very different from the typical work done in a hospital pharmacy.



Of course they don't have capacity to make millions of pills. But they are GLP and GMP certified and make all kinds of custom stuff

All of those examples are at best pharmacies with compounding capabilities and/or sterile fill capability.

They aren't manufacturing any medicines in those pharmacies. They are buying final product and then preparing it for administration.

GLP and GMP certified don't mean they are manufacturing. GLP are lab best practices and GMP is manufacturing, but it covers a lot of ground, so a basic pharmacy can be GMP and all they do is prepare sterile product.
