About this app

Ensure the antibiotics are available in your community and are safe and effective using Com-WATCH.

Com-WATCH is an integrated, data-driven solution that generates data and intelligence on substandard and falsified (SF) antibiotics at the community level. It also supports stock control through an inventory management system, enabling vendors and health care workers to better manage antibiotic stock, receive expiry alerts, and record consumption.

Whether you’re a pharmacist, a patent medicine vendor, an agrovet, or a healthcare worker, Com-WATCH helps you take practical action at the point where antibiotics are stored, dispensed, and used.

For the Community & Patients:

• Verify Authenticity: Not sure about a drug? Snap a photo of the packaging. Our AI checks it against the NAFDAC Green Book database to help you spot fakes.
• Stay Informed: Chat with our automated bot to verify antibiotics, learn about antibiotic safety and resistance risks.

For the Healthcare worker, Human & Animal medicines vendors:

• Digital Stock Control: Use a digital tool to track your antibiotic stock, monitor expiration dates, and predict shortages in real-time.
• Prevent Stock-outs: Get visibility on your inventory to ensure you always have essential antibiotics available.
• Works Offline: No internet? No problem. Log data anywhere; the app syncs automatically when you are back online.

Why it matters

Substandard and falsified antibiotics and weak stock control can put you and me at risk and accelerate the spread of AMR. Com-WATCH is designed to help you verify your antibiotics and enable communities to access quality antibiotics when they’re truly needed, and use them appropriately.
