A national platform that gives each pack a digital identity, follows it through the chain, and confirms it is genuine at the counter — online or offline, in under a second.

WHO estimate for medical products in low‑ and middle‑income countries. Found by accident, after harm.
Visibility ends at customs. Public facilities run short while the same products appear on private shelves.
As neighbours mandate unique identifiers, uncoded markets become the path of least resistance.
The code already required by the EU, US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and India’s export market.
If verification needs a signal, dispensers stop scanning and the data stops. The field app is built for the facility, not the capital.
What has been serialised, verified and dispensed, the live EPCIS event stream, alerts and recalls in one view.
Serialise a batch, aggregate cartons and pallets, and report commissioning events to the national repository.
Receipt, put‑away, pick and dispatch against the pallet code. One scan accounts for every pack inside.
Pallet codes matched to the import permit and customs declaration before release. The decision stays with the inspector.
Pharmacies verify the pack against the national record and dispense it against the e‑prescription; dispensaries and drug shops use the offline phone app.
Insurers receive the prescription line, the serial dispensed and the facility — and pay for nothing else.
Text the code to a short number or use the public app. Answer in the national language, hotline for unknown packs.
GS1 DataMatrix on packs, SSCC on pallets, master data synced with the register.
EPCIS 2.0 events from APIs, warehouses and the field app — including offline.
In‑country, regulator as controller, ISO 27001, role‑based access.
Duplicate, expired, recalled, unknown, diverted; permit matching; fee ledger.
Console, portal, tablet, workstation, phone app, SMS, claims feed.
A unique serial is printed with the product code, batch and expiry; the commissioning event reaches the national repository through the portal or API.
One pallet scan accounts for every pack inside, so consignments move through customs and warehouses without opening boxes.
Codes are matched to the import permit and customs entry before clearance; suspect products are screened on the spot.
Receipt, put‑away, pick and dispatch recorded against the serial, so the ministry sees where stock is and when it expires.
Under a second, online or offline. Duplicates, expired, recalled or unknown codes are quarantined and the regulator sees the alert.
Live position of the supply chain: what has been serialised, verified and dispensed, the EPCIS event stream and open alerts.
Indicative — the pre‑feasibility study replaces these with the country’s own data.
An operator finances, builds and runs the platform, recovering the investment through a per‑pack industry fee of about 1% of the market.
