the central hospital pharmacy / internal pharmacy

PUI stands for Pharmacie à l'Usage Intérieur. It means a pharmacy supplying medications for patients within a healthcare facility, and the normal term, I think, is "hospital pharmacy". If the facility supplied is not a hospital, "internal pharmacy" could be used, but "hospital pharmacy" is the generic term.

We had a previous question on this term:
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/french-to-english/other/2309752-p...

A few instances of "pharmacy for internal use" or "internal-use pharmacy" can be found in English documents, but I think they are translations from French, and that these are not normal terms in English-language healthcare.

An Australian source for the alternative:
"Public and private hospitals have internal pharmacies that provide medicines to patients of the hospital."
Lots of instances of "internal pharmacy" in this doc.
