The Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and more popularly as Covid-19, Covid, Coronavirus , is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus and the cause of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic that started late November 2019 in Wuhan China and has since spread globally. As at March 29, 2020, it has infected 660K+ people and killed 30K+ people.

The global economy has ground to a halt, with 30% of the global population as at March 28, under quarantine due to mandatory stay at home orders to stem the spread of the virus and avoid crashing healthcare systems with too many people falling sick at same time.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has cost millions of jobs with over 3 Million filing for unemployment benefits in the USA alone. Many small companies across the world from restaurants to manufacturing have closed down. Big companies such as airlines are failing. Governments are rushing through stimulus packages to support citizens and avoid a complete global economic meltdown.

Wear Face Masks, stay at home, wash your hands and social distancing have become global concepts understood across the world by billions of people as humans seek to restore normalcy.

Unfortunately counterfeiters are waxing strong in this period of paranoia- selling fake face masks, gloves, hand sanitisers, ventilators and even fake chloroquine tablets (which is being experimented as a treatment).

As the leading global platform for drug quality authentication and delivery with subsidiaries in China, Nigeria, Kenya , we have been involved in all the major frontlines leading global fight against Coronavirus.

BEATING COVID TOGETHER

 As the leading global platform for safe drugs, we are in the fight to roll back the Covid pandemic by provision of authenticated medicines and medical commodities through our platform.

 The importance of safe, high quality and accessible medicines, personal protective equipment and Covid test kits in rolling back the Covid pandemic and ensuring quality healthcare globally, emphasizes the fight for quality healthcare for which RxAll exists.

 As part of our intervention, we will be rapidly expanding test locations for RxScanner to enable more pharmacies assess the quality of drugs and medical commodities they and their patients buy online as they stay under lock down.

We are also rapidly expanding our RxAll Delivered Platform to ensure quality medicines, PPE and Covid Test Kits are available at homes, hospitals and pharmacies across Africa, especially in countries such as Nigeria where we operate.

We will not stop protecting from fake drugs and medical commodities and this pandemic highlights the importance of our global platform for drug quality authentication and delivery in ensuring a single source for high quality medicines and medical commodities to assure quality healthcare.

Without quality healthcare, no economy can function normally and the quality of human life deteriorates.

With the RxAll Platform, we ensure that the quality of medicines, healthcare and ultimately our global economy and existence is assured and therefore improved.

Together we will beat the Covid-19 Pandemic.
