Powered by Blockchain Technology, FarmaTrust’s revolutionary solution provides authentic, safe and connected products throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain, packing the potential to protect the millions of lives at risk each year due to fraudulent drug distribution.
Healthcare is one of the largest industries in the world, with pharmaceutical leading the way. The pharma trade is very profitable and inherently, but there are malicious organizations at work in it. Counterfeit medication is becoming an increasingly significant problem. According to an estimate by a PWC report, 30% of all medication in circulation are fake, leading to up to a million in deaths annually. Most of these are from diseases that are easily curable, for example, malaria alone accounts for 450 thousand deaths.
Major reasons of death due to fake medication are the adulteration of toxic and dangerous chemicals that are used in the production of these, such as rat poison, floor wax and other industrial chemicals. Substandard medication is another issue, where the active ingredient is either present in a low quantity, or not at all. Using low quality medication has little effect on fighting the disease and when strength of the medication is increased, it can (and does) result in overdose and death.
