Fight the Fakes congratulates Ashifi Gogo, Founder of Partner Sproxil, in being awarded Schwab Foundation’s Social Entrepreneur of the Year award.
Fake medicines present a real threat to patients and to public health as a whole. Empowering patients with the ability to distinguish life-saving medicines from live-threating counterfeits is one example of mHealth solutions to global health challenges.
Sproxil’s Mobile Product Authentication (MPA™), allows patient to verify whether their medicines are genuine or counterfeit with a simple text message, free of charge.
