Announcing the full operationalisation of the initiative on his Facebook page after a successful six-month pilot, Dr. Bawumia, who spearheaded the e-pharmacy with stakeholders of the pharmaceutical industry, expressed delight at the convenience it will bring to Ghanaians as well as its expected boost to the pharmaceutical industry.
Ghana’s nationwide e-pharmacy platform, the first of its kind in any African country, and one of the few in the world is a platform of registered pharmacies that allows the Ghanaian public the ease of uploading and buying prescribed medicines on the platform and getting it delivered to their locations once they register on the platform with their Ghana Card.
Key among them are the digital national identification system (Ghanacard), national digital property address system, mobile money interoperability, universal QR Code as well as digitisation of governemnt services at the ports, registrar general, DVLA, passport application and many others.
