SwipeRx Stories: Building Apotek Hirosah with Purpose and Innovation

In Bandung — the vibrant capital of West Java, Indonesia — a small pharmacy called Apotek Hirosah was built for a simple purpose: to make healthcare more meaningful and accessible to serve others. ✨

Its founder, Maulana Sidik, didn’t come from a family of pharmacists or doctors. His background was in education and business. But in 2021, driven by the desire to contribute to his community’s well-being, he took a leap of faith and built Apotek Hirosah from the ground up.

The early days were challenging — finding pharmacists, securing permits, and running operations on limited resources. Determined to run his pharmacy, Maulana turned to technology. Even before opening, he had already developed a simple digital system to track stock, payroll, and finances — believing that digitalization would be the key to sustainability.

That mindset eventually led him to SwipeRx, where he found tools and a community that shared the same vision. Through SwipeRx, Maulana can order medicines quickly, access a wise range of products, and ensure the selves are always ready for the patients who depend on quality healthcare.

“Digitalization helps me work smarter,” Maulana said. “Now I can spend more time listening to customers and helping them — not just managing the paperwork.” From a small pharmacy to a growing community, Apotek Hirosah proves that when purpose meets innovation, impact follows.

💙This is one of many inspiring stories from pharmacists across Indonesia — powered by passion, strengthened by SwipeRx.
