GoMed Online Pharmacy Launches in Lagos

GoMed, an online marketplace for community pharmacies, has recently been launched in Lagos to provide easy and on-the-go access to safe medicines, health products, and services for Nigerians.

According to the online marketplace, the launch is a strategic move to tap into the thriving Nigerian pharma market, which is estimated at $2.5 billion.

GoMed partners with community pharmacies across Nigeria, providing them with the tools to showcase their inventory while exposing them to millions of potential customers within their communities.

With GoMed, community pharmacies regardless of size are able to digitise their sales process to reach even more customers, while users can access an array of pharmaceutical products ranging from prescription drugs to personal care and supplements. Users are also able to order medical equipment, speak with pharmacists or even consult a doctor.

Speaking at the launch in Lagos, Partner and Co-founder of GoMed Nigeria, 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.

“Most community pharmacies are so busy running their business that they don’t 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.

“With 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!”
