Pitch your solution.
Currently in Mexico there are large monopolies of Pharmacies which don´t offer adequate pharmaceutical care services, high prices, uncontrolled drug sales and the non-use of pharmacovigilance to report adverse reactions, generating a lack of awareness of the rational use of drugs, inadequate dispensing and the worst case the excess of primary and secondary packaging to the garbage. In addition, in Mexico thousands of health professionals graduate from different universities who do not find a decent job. According to the scientific article of the International Society of Drug Bullet journal "Current Situation of Pharmaceutical Services in Mexico", it´s mentioned that the main problem is the safety of drug dispensing since in the first case there are no pharmaceutical professionals in the suitable pharmacies.
Film your elevator pitch.
What specific problem are you solving?
Currently the pharmacy model that we are proposing is not used in Mexico, only the countries of Europe and the United States handle the specialized unit dose system for each patient for sale to the public. Therefore, it has been shown that this technology allows better control and monitoring of the pharmacotherapeutic treatment of patients, facilitating studies of adverse reactions and identification of possible drug interactions, which entails adequate pharmaceutical care, affordable prices to patients, generation savings in primary and secondary packaging waste, rationalization in the distribution and use of medicines, reduction of medication errors and provision of the correct administration of medicines to the patient; For this, at NaG Health Solutions we have designed new branches of Pharmacies with sale to the public with the combination of the use of unit doses plus the use of information technology and delivery (drones) (which will make it a unique and innovative model in the world ) that will allow the patient and health professional to interact so that their experience is the most successful and that they have health services of the highest quality.
What is your solution?
With the following project we intend to create jobs for health professionals (Medical, Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Nutritionist, etc.) with the aim of combating professional and social inequality in our country and through our technologies our services are more efficient. . For this we have designed a new brand of Pharmacies that will have the sale of products at the best price, licensed health professionals who provide appropriate Pharmaceutical services using an innovative application that will allow the professional-patient to interact to improve the quality of the service, using new delivery technologies (Drones) and rooms for specialized preparation of unit doses for each patient.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
The new model of Pharmacies that we are proposing, in addition to benefiting health professionals, will benefit the entire Mexican population regardless of or make a distinction between social class but fundamental to the most needy people, currently in Mexico the minimum wage (UMA) is of 4.5 USD for this with the implementation of the distributor for pharmacies which will be in charge of obtaining the majority of products at factory prices (as we currently know in Mexico, registered pharmacy brands are a monopoly since they acquire the cheapest drugs and obtain profits greater than 700% which is equivalent to being sometimes difficult to acquire for the population) this will help us to improve the prices of medicines compared to other Pharmacies. Finally, with the installation of aseptic rooms and personnel in charge of preparing unit doses for patients, they will benefit from the purchase of their medication at a better price without having to buy boxes of medicines with an excess that they will not use again and thus also benefit the environment. environment since no more primary and secondary containers will be generated that are discarded in the trash.
