Shopee has officially joined hands with the Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society (MPS) to provide a safe and secure environment for pharmacies to transition to digital business on the e-commerce platform while expanding the range of goods available for consumer purchase.
Through this collaboration, sooner or later users will be able to identify MPS-verified pharmacies on Shopee by looking for the “MPS Certificate of Verification” statement displayed within the storefront page that guarantees the legitimacy of the seller’s license and their offerings. Not only for convenience alone, but it also increases the public awareness of the pharmacy’s role as proper health hubs and improves the ease of access of common medicines to more potential users who are now mostly operating within their homes.
For pharmacies operators who wish to apply for the verification, they will need to have their physical outlet have at least one registered pharmacist with a government-issued Type A Poison license (for pharmacists only) and also at least one of their pharmacists is an MPS member. After successfully getting the verification, an official banner or some sort will be displayed as below.
To start off the initiative, MPS will be organizing 2 rounds of Shopee Live sessions on October 21 at 5 p.m and October 30 at 8 p.m where they will be sharing practical advice and tips on purchasing and consuming pharmaceutical products while giving out special vouchers and exciting prizes in a small giveaway session. Stay tuned to the live stream if you are interested in or frequent online medicine shopping.
