The "Rasd" tracking system is an electronic system affiliated with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority; designed to enhance drug control by tracking their path starting from their production till they reach the end consumer.
Each medicine package is linked to a unique machine-readable tag called a (code). This code allows the movement of the package to be tracked through the supply chain, starting from the factory to the pharmacy, thus the system:
1- Combats counterfeit medicines
2- Improves the supply chain efficiency by tracking the movement of the warehouse
3- Provides information to patients to ensure medicines’ validity
