‘Tatmeen’ is a track-and-trace digital platform. It will use advanced serialisation and tracing technology to track medicines from production to end-use. It will enable tracking of pharma products through their journey in the supply chain. It is the first of its kind in the region.

‘Tatmeen’ will offer information on the origin of the products, safety to use and validity through a unique, serialised 2-D matrix bar code. Consumers will be able to verify the products at the point of purchase thereby avoiding the purchase of unapproved and counterfeit medicines. This will help control the circulation of counterfeit or expired medical supplies and other unauthorised products.

‘Tatmeen’ was launched by Ministry of Health and Prevention in September 2020. Its successful application can promote trust and transparency in the supply chain of healthcare product. ‘Tatmeen’ has a potential to fortify and secure the healthcare supply chains in the UAE.
