Αccording to the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association, 57.000.000 boxes of medicine expire every year in Greece, while social pharmacies cannot accommodate their 15.000 daily requests. The mobile application extracts all medical information from the barcodes found on medical packaging, and links users with organisations that could redistribute this medication to individuals in need of them, like social pharmacies and NGOs. Social pharmacies are responsible for collecting and distributing medicines to people with financial problems, free of charge.
We bridged this gap using technology. We created GIVMED, the greek community for utilizing excess medicines.
We would love to have you in our community! Let’s help those in need. Let’s #GIVMED!
