MEDforU

Every day, people who find it difficult to buy their own medicines and health products (orthopedics and walking aids, parapharmaceuticals and sanitary material, medical devices, consumables) are forced to look if such products are available in municipal social pharmacies or non-profit organizations. Through the MEDforU service, we strive to put an end to this time-consuming process by immediately informing everyone about the availability of the medicines and health products they need.

For individuals with access to mobile devices or computers, GIVMED developed the MEDforU application (medforu.org for Android). Through the app, all individuals can search for medicines and health products they need, check availability in social pharmacies and be informed of what is the appropriate documentation in order to pick them up.

The MEDforU application is available in Arabic, Farsi, French, English, Greek and Ukrainian, it has provisions so as to be accessible for people with disabilities, and is provided for free. The user can state his medication and health product needs, when appropriate based on a prescription he/she already has, in two ways: 

• Trade (commercial) name
• Active substance and concentration

When he/she has completed registering all the needs, by clicking on "Complete Order" he/she can see the social pharmacies where the medicines and/or health products are available. The application, based on the needs that the user has registered, immediately and automatically recommends social pharmacies in which he can receive the medicine and/or health products he/she requested with the needed documentation.

Specifically, the user sees a list of all social pharmacies and by clicking on one of them he/she sees:

• Social pharmacy details (name, address, telephone, opening hours)
• Necessary supporting documents for taking medicines and/or health products
• Details of medicines and health products available (medicinal and trade product name, active substance, quantity available, expiry date)
