Summary
The NPC mobile application improves product supply chain visibility for the Ministry of Health (MOH) and associated stakeholders by facilitating the barcode scanning of Global Standards 1 (GS1) product information. Users can access details, including the Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN), for over 542 products through the Product Catalogue Management Tool (PCMT). The app supports the Central Medical Stores Trust (CMST) in monitoring expiration dates and costs, while assisting the MOH and Pharmacy and Medicines Regulatory Authority (PMRA) in identifying illegal or expired products. It also features random vaccine authentication to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and enhances interoperability within health information systems, particularly in the area of vaccination and immunization.
