Jordan: Implementing a national traceability programme using GS1 DataMatrix barcodes
GS1 Jordan provides services to more than 3,000 Jordanian companies. Healthcare is one of the most important sectors served.
Body
Teams at the Jordan Food and Drug Administration and at GS1 Jordan are working together to implement a national traceability programme for medicines. This will increase the ability to easily recall products and so improve patient safety.
The absence of a common healthcare electronic database system which enables information to be shared across supply chains, and of a national traceability programme, means efficiency and safety is sometimes affected in the Jordanian healthcare sector.
