Entrepreneurism during the Pandemic
Emeds.pk is a first of its kind initiative in Pakistan. It has the potential to change the access to medicines in Pakistan. Developed by a team of qualified medical and pharmaceutical experts. The app is user-friendly and includes state of the art digital technology.
Moreover, VM Interactive’s COO Alex Kalavrezos says: “Having seen the Pakistani tech industry grow leaps and bounds. The government is clearly focused on taking the tech industry to another level. The chance to invest in the health-tech sector during this time was an opportunity not to be missed.
How the App Operates
Furthermore, the buying portal of emeds.pk provides the ease of downloading a prescription and purchasing the drug electronically by pressing a few keys. These programs often include customers with a medical area that maintains track of the past of the user\’s medication, medications, and replacement alerts and people are rarely left without these drugs.
After a customer has registered his drug, the approved pharmacists must check it for correct dose, length, and certain validation points, providing the most convenient route to buy drugs.
Regulatory Body In-charge
Additionally, Pakistan’s Drug Regulatory Authority (DRAP) approves and controls companies like Emeds. It now lists more than 8,000 over-the-counter prescription and non-prescription drugs.
Unlike other online pharmacies that utilize third party pharmacies without some quality control program. Emeds considers itself as distinctive in the industry given that, unlike other online pharmacies, they directly send orders to the consumers.
COO’s Thoughts & Views
Conclusively, Emeds\’ COO Faizan Sajid says: \”The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed Pakistan\’s still vulnerable healthcare system. It has emphasized the industry\’s need for technology. As we collaborated with VMI on health-tech ventures in the UK. It was important for us to introduce to Pakistan a program that we hope would make medicines available to the masses.”
The service aims to help promote access to real drugs. By ensuring links to these essential daily medications. While creative processes and rigorous protocols ensure that only legitimate drugs are obtained. The team has developed extensive protocols to ensure fake medicines are not sold.
