Association of Community Pharmacists Nigeria (ACPN) has announced its collaboration with Moniepoint to strengthen the pharmaceutical supply chain through digital finance, while achieving universal health coverage (UHC) for all Nigerians.
The disclosure was made during a courtesy visit by some national executive members of ACPN to the Moniepoint Inc. office in Lagos to promote and encourage digital financial inclusion among its members.
Leading the delegation, the National Chairman, ACPN, Wale Oladigbolu, lauded the giant strides made by Moniepoint in providing reliable and seamless digital payment services to community pharmacies across the country, adding that some other players in the pharmaceutical industry still operated primarily with cash, thus limiting their growth potential and financial inclusion.
He noted that Nigeria’s healthcare industry was ripe for disruption, using digital and technological know-how to achieve UHC, social health insurance, supply chain systems and data for policy formulation.
“This visit to Moniepoint today is underscored by our belief that a well-structured collaboration between both organisations will produce transformative high-yield results and benefit the nation’s healthcare system at large. Such collaborations enhance not only the operational efficiency of our pharmacies but also ensure that our patients and customers benefit from the convenience and security of digital financial services.
Integrating financial technology seamlessly into everyday health services, making them more accessible and efficient for all is a noble task that all stakeholders should strive towards achieving,” he said.
