Users are also able to order medical equipment, speak with pharmacists or even consult a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the launch in Lagos, Partner, and Co-founder of\u00a0GoMed\u00a0Nigeria, Dr Aaron Grandy said the solution was inspired by the need to provide the tools and resources that pharmacy businesses need to take their services online and scale their operations in the most efficient and profitable manner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost community pharmacies are so busy running their business that they don\u2019t have spare time and resources to build up an online shop with 5,000 to 10,000+ products, manage branding, marketing, and communications, plus coordinate deliveries all at the same time.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWith all these challenges in mind, we asked pharmacy owners and managers if an online solution that they could tap into, enhance their brand and reach more customers would be of interest to them, and of course, it was a resounding yes!\u201d Grandy said.<\/p>\n<p>Immediate benefits of\u00a0GoMed\u00a0to pharmacy partners include increased sales via online channels, and brand visibility through showcasing brand specialties and unique selling propositions.<\/p>\n<p>Other benefits include conveniently serving a wider audience without fear of giving away their business, risking their brand or losing their customers to the competition, and unfettered access to digital tools for better visibility and business insights.<\/p>\n<p>Grandy further stated, \u201cGoMed taps directly into the trust and loyalty that Nigerian community pharmacies have built over the years by being the first point of contact with patients,\u201d adding that GoMed\u2019s mission is to \u201csupport and lift up these community pharmacies as they are the real heroes in our story\u201d.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GoMed, an online marketplace for community pharmacies has launched in Lagos to provide on-the-go access to safe medicines, health products, and services for Nigerians, a strategic move to tap into the thriving Nigeria pharma market which is estimated at $2.5 billion.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":64868,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[174,17],"tags":[9905],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-64867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-health","category-news","tag-gomed-pharmaceuticals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
