Pharmacies and drug stores are first-points-of-care for over 70% of the population of Bangladesh. Ensuring they are equipped with access to knowledge, information and PPE is crucial to tackling COVID-19 in rural communities.
TRANSFORM helped Jeeon to provide COVID-19-specific support to pharmacies and other Informal Healthcare Providers (IHPs) during the pandemic, enabling them to become effective first-responders in their communities.
The impact enterprise
Jeeon upgrades neighbourhood micro-pharmacies into quality primary health providers using technology, training and formal sector connections.

The implementation
