САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:
Ahmet Hamdi Emgen [1318 (1902/1903)-1973, graduated in Istanbul School of Pharmacy] purchased the Mondiana Pharmacy [owner: Pharmacist Konstantin Sava Mondiana (or Mandika?)] in Sehremini (Istanbul), and operated it under the name “Şehremini Merkez Eczanesi” (Şehremini Central Pharmacy). In 1932, he moved the pharmacy to Aksaray (Istanbul). Since he was proficient in German and French, he improved himself with current developments by travelling to European countries and following publications. His daughter, Pharm. İhsan Emgen (Gezgin) graduated in 1946-1947 from Istanbul University School of Pharmacy and worked with his father until 1954. After taking a break from the profession, she took over the management of the pharmacy upon the death of Ahmet Hamdi Emgen in 1973. She closed the pharmacy at the end of 1980 because of health reasons. The furniture, medicines and other materials of this pharmacy were donated by her through Prof. Dr. Ekrem Sezik to be exhibited at Hacettepe University Faculty of Pharmacy. Pharm. İhsan Emgen (Gezgin)’s daughter Fatma Şebnem Gezgin donated the documents related to their lives as well as other pharmacy items to the Istanbul University Specialised Museum of Turkish Pharmacy History.
Although there are some details about the history of the pharmacy and about the prescription book in the national publications, there is still a need for further research into the history of the pharmacy and its owners. The aim of this study is to expand and complete the information about it by looking in detail at the owners of this pharmacy, which can look back on a history of almost a century, as well as their lives and contributions to the profession.
