RxAll launches to fight counterfeit drugs in Lagos, Nigeria

RxAll, a health technology company, has stepped into Nigeria to bring quality and authentic medication to Nigerians.

Fake medications are a global challenge and the company’s goal is, “to work with drug regulatory agencies and other stakeholders to reduce fake medicines and ensure patients access affordable, high quality verified drugs, and help pharmaceutical companies make more sales.”

Addressing the media in Lagos, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of RxAll, Adebayo Alonge, said: “Apart from the on-demand virtual platform at your fingertip, the company is also doing a lot to make sure patients get first-hand medications across its physical network of locations known as RxGO in the southwestern part of the country.

“We provide an authentication platform through which regulators/pharmacies can authenticate medicines.” He noted that while substandard drugs are eroding public confidence in healthcare systems globally, RxAll has come out to bridge a major gap in access to quality healthcare in Africa.
