The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) has begun piloting an e-pharmacy system, aimed at facilitating the home delivery of medications to subscribers.
NHIA CEO Dr. Da-Costa Aboagye explained the process, noting that under the new system, prescriptions will be uploaded into an electronic system.
Clients will then be able to pick up their medications from locations closer to them, with the ultimate goal of delivering all medications directly to the homes of subscribers.
“This program aims to ensure that clients receive the best possible service with added convenience, while also detecting and preventing false shortages,” Dr. Aboagye stated.
The e-pharmacy project has already undergone some preliminary work and is set to commence piloting in select regions next week.
