2,456 pharmacies now onboarded on national E-Pharmacy platform

An impressive 2456 pharmacies have been onboarded onto the National E-Pharmacy Platform, representing a major milestone for the digital platform and Ghana.

The nationwide platform, otherwise known as e-pharmacy, is a platform of registered pharmacies.

It allows the Ghanaian public the ease of uploading and buying prescribed medicines on the platform and getting them delivered to their locations, once they register on the platform with their Ghana card.

In 2019, Vice President Bawumia challenged the Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana to take steps to ensure that Pharmacy services are digitized through the introduction of a national-scale e-pharmacy platform, the first in Africa.

Ghana's national e-pharmacy platform is the first of its kind in Africa, and with over 2000 pharmacies onboarded, it further expands the number of pharmacies on the digital platform.

After registering on the e-pharmacy platform with a Ghanacard, any prescription can be uploaded onto the platform via mobile phone through https://www.gnepplatform.com/ (or through a USSD code).

The authenticity of drugs is also guaranteed because the Ghana National E-pharmacy Platform is integrated with the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) platform
