Public feedback study now open: Help us understand medicine safety and counterfeit drug concerns in Nigeria.

Medicine safety research initiative

Before you swallow it, shouldn’t you be sure?

Across Nigeria, people buy medicines every day based on trust, urgency, price, and hope. MediSure is starting a public first journey to understand the problem, gather real feedback, and build tools that can help communities verify and report suspicious medicines.

The Story

The story starts with a simple question…

Mother speaking with a healthcare worker about medicine 01

A mother walks into a pharmacy.

She needs malaria medicine quickly. The price is affordable, the package looks normal, and the seller sounds confident. But one question remains: is it real?

University students studying together on campus 02

A student buys medicine near campus.

He has lectures, deadlines, and little time. He wants something fast and cheap. But he has no simple way to confirm where the medicine came from.

Pharmacist reviewing medicine packages on pharmacy shelves 03

A pharmacist receives a new batch.

The carton looks familiar, but something feels off. Without a reliable verification tool, suspicion becomes a silent risk.

People walking through a busy community street 04

A community loses trust.

When medicine fails, patients blame hospitals, pharmacies, doctors, and sometimes themselves. But the real issue may be hidden inside the supply chain.

The Problem

Counterfeit medicine is not just a product problem. It is a trust problem.

In Abuja and across Nigeria, counterfeit and substandard medicines can move through pharmacies, hospitals, informal markets, and local vendors. Patients often cannot independently verify what they are buying, while pharmacists and health workers may face suspicious batches without enough transparency.

!

Fake or substandard medicines

Medicines may look real but fail to treat illness properly.

↔

Weak supply chain transparency

It is difficult to know where some medicines came from and who handled them.

?

Limited verification tools

Many people do not have a simple way to check medicine origin before use.

+

Broken healthcare trust

When medicine fails, public confidence in healthcare systems is damaged.

Clear education on medicine safety concerns and what people should observe.

Community reports

A future pathway for people to report suspicious medicine experiences responsibly.

FAQ

Questions people may ask first

MediSure is a Nigerian medicine safety and verification initiative focused on reducing counterfeit medicine risks through public feedback, reporting, and future verification tools.

Not yet. MediSure is currently in research and early development. The goal is to understand the real problem first, then build practical verification tools.

Pharmacists, pharmacy students, healthcare workers, university students, parents, patients, medicine buyers, and members of the public.

No. Counterfeit medicine affects everyone, so both professional and public voices are important.

Feedback helps us understand how people currently buy, verify, trust, or suspect medicines. This helps us build a solution that fits real behavior.

No official partnership is being claimed. For now, MediSure is presented as an independent research and early stage health technology initiative.

Responses will be used for research and product development. The form should avoid collecting unnecessary sensitive information.

MediSure will use the feedback to design and build public reporting, medicine lookup, QR verification, pharmacy tools, and future tamper resistant verification records.
