Annual participation in the Riga Marathon has become a favourite tradition for BENU Aptieka and Tamro staff. Every year the marathon team is getting bigger – this year 36 employees, including pharmacists, office workers, as well as logistics colleagues, took part in different distances of the marathon. Furthermore, all distances were represented – from the dynamic 6 km to the extremely challenging marathon distance, and also children's distances!

Summer is a time when we enjoy longer days, holidays in nature and active time outdoors. However, it is also a time when we need to pay more attention to protecting our skin. In the project “HELLO(,) SUMMER!” we remind you that the sun is not only a pleasure, but also a responsibility. Proper skin protection from UVA and UVB rays should become an integral part of our daily routine – not only in summer, but all year round.

Today, on 4 April, as part of the annual Shadow Day, BENU Aptieka welcomed students to give them an insight into the profession of pharmacist, their daily work and specifics. BENU pharmacies in several Latvian cities and towns participated in the Shadow Day activities, bringing together a total of 55 shadowers.
