As part of its social responsibility, leading home-grown mobile reload and utility payment app PayMaster recently introduced an exclusive feature called MediSearch, as an innovative solution to ease the burden off every Sri Lankan, amid the country’s crisis situation.
Through the MediSearch feature, PayMaster users are presented with an intuitive user interface that enables them to seamlessly inquire from their nearest pharmacies, on the availability of their required medicines in real time. MediSearch is freely available to all Sri Lankans who use the PayMaster mobile app.
Within the first two weeks of launch, over 300 pharmacies have joined the MediSearch network, and the company expects this network to reach 3,000 pharmacies within the next two months, covering all the areas in the country.
During the development of this feature, the company envisioned a system which would eradicate the current situation where people are subject to travelling from pharmacy to pharmacy in search of specific, sometimes basic medicines such as Panadol, which was a result of the medicine shortage.
Additionally, more light was shed on this issue with the abrupt fuel shortage, which further restricted travelling capabilities.
PayMaster app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, Apple App Store and Huawei Store.
