The Suur-Pärnu Pharmacy, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, continues to uphold the standards established by Olympiada Kann, the first female pharmacist in Estonia. According to the pharmacy's current head, Alexandra Sauskina, Kann's passion and diligence during a time when it was rare for women to enter such professions has set a quality benchmark that the pharmacy maintains to this day. Sauskina highlights the importance of honoring the traditions passed down from Kann, showcasing the significant contributions of women in the field.

Olympiada Kann was born in Muhumaa and was accepted into a pioneering pharmacy course led by Antonina Lesnevskaya in Russia, which was specifically designed for women and one of the first of its kind worldwide. Her education and work laid the foundation for future female pharmacists in Estonia and contributed to the growth of the pharmacy profession as a whole. In addition to her work in medicine, Kann was an active member of the community, organizing theater events and fairs, thus integrating her professional roles with cultural contributions.

With plans to create a museum alongside the pharmacy, Sauskina aims to not only maintain but also celebrate the rich history of the pharmacy and its founder. This initiative serves as a reminder of the crucial role women have played in the profession, and it helps preserve historical knowledge about their contributions to society and the field of pharmacy.
