A medicines traceability system has been launched in Kyrgyzstan. Press center of the Ministry of Health reported.
The head of the ministry, Gulnara Baatyrova, got acquainted with the progress of digitalization and introduction of the system in the Department of Medicines and Medical Products.
She instructed to connect all pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, government healthcare organizations and other participants to the system.
This will ensure the safety of medicines by combating counterfeit medical products. The system can track drugs from their import into the country to the end consumer in pharmacies; information on the availability of specific medicines will also be available in hospitals. Citizens will be able to check the legality of the purchased medicine using a mobile application and get all the necessary information on it.
Medicines consumption data collected through the system will be used to develop a national healthcare strategy.
