The problem Med-Aid solves

During these testing times, everyone requires appropriate health care and a lot of people are not so fortunate to be able to afford all kinds of medicine. So we bring to you a platform where you can donate medicines and the person in need can easily receive and use the medicine which would have otherwise remained unsold or unused. All the pharmacists that sell or donate medicines using this platform are verified and have a license to sell medicines to ensure safety and legality of the transactions. Any person who is willing to give can donate medicines but medicines are accepted only after thorough checking and quality ensurance. People receiving will have to upload prescriptions to verify their needs. We do not take ask for any intermediate costs to make the transfer. This is because we want to help people who are in need of medication and cannot afford it.
