Summary
mPedigree is a social enterprise that has developed an anti-counterfeit ICT software application designed to help consumers verify the safety of medications. It operates through a simple sticker on product packaging that, when scratched, reveals a numeric code for verification via SMS, confirming the authenticity of the drug. Additionally, mPedigree plays a crucial role in securing the value chains of essential hygiene products, such as hand sanitizers and soaps, which are vital for maintaining personal and home hygiene, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its primary focus is on health promotion.
