Marie Stopes Nigeria said it is introducing new digital capabilities into its customer and beneficiaries' interactions in Nigeria.
A release informed that contraceptives and other family planning supplies will be individually marked with tracking and traceability technology to enable customers and beneficiaries to electronically log and register them after receipt or purchase.
According to the release: "By logging and registering these reproductive health products and supplies, millions of customers and beneficiaries will be able to instantly confirm the authenticity and other critical information about these vital items, thereby, reducing risks such as counterfeiting, package tampering, illegal repacking, and mislabelling".
Country Director of Marie Stopes, Effiom Effiom, said: "Since our pledge at the 2012 London Summit on Family Planning to considerably boost the number of beneficiaries of our services and supplies, we have sought to embrace innovations that enhance operational efficiency, bolster the quality of our interventions, and greatly enrich the experience of our products and services for customers and clients".
