The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has introduced an improved version of the Med Safety App to strengthen the reporting of suspected Substandard and Falsified (SF) medical products in Nigeria.
The upgraded app provides members of the public and healthcare providers with a faster, easier, and more secure platform to report suspicious medicines and other medical products directly to NAFDAC.
Substandard and falsified medical products pose serious risks to public health and may lead to treatment failure, harmful side effects, and loss of lives. Through the improved Med Safety App, users can conveniently submit reports, upload photographs of suspicious products, and provide important details that support rapid investigation and regulatory action.
The initiative is part of NAFDAC’s commitment to strengthening medicine safety surveillance and protecting Nigerians from unsafe medical products.
NAFDAC encourages the public to remain vigilant and promptly report medicines with unusual packaging, altered expiry dates, missing NAFDAC registration numbers, or poor treatment outcomes.
Reports received through the Med Safety App will support early detection, prevention, and removal of harmful products from circulation, thereby safeguarding public health across the country.
The Med Safety App is available for download on Android and iOS devices.
NAFDAC; safeguarding the health of the Nation!!!
