Prof. Dora Akunyili (2001-2009) introduced SMS-based Product Authentication Service (PAS) where you scratch and send a code to a particular number to see if it was fake or original.
Prof. Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye took it a step further by introducing the use of barcode technology (specifically GS1 standards).
She introduced the NAFDAC Greenbook (a digital database of registered products) and the Scan2Verify app.
Guess what?
Nigerians didn't use it and it was also frustrated by fake drugs merchants.

Tech Bros and App developers.
An idea came to mind this morning. Is it doable?
I sketched in my Diary.
Can we have an App or software whereby, every drug has a bar code. Once you buy a drug or medical item, you scan it and you're instantly notified if it is original or fake.
If it is fake, An alert is immediately sent to NAFDAC which means the app's algorithm will be integrated into NAFDAC's database
Every Authentic manufacturer too will have these bar codes.
For every Flag to NAFDAC, The alert will also trace the location of production and entire distribution chain of the fake manufacturers.
Is it a doable?
Thinking out loud.
I'm open to more discussions.

Africa faces a growing tragedy: counterfeit products are claiming lives. Fake medicines in rural areas, counterfeit alcohol in big cities like Lagos & Nairobi, & now fake food killing children.

With a national repository & verification system, such that people could use service providers tools to ensure product authenticity in real time via mobile Apps or USSD/SMS verifying against this data in this national repository. This could save lives.
