KUALA LUMPUR, June 1 (Bernama) -- The public may now shop online for medicine, vitamins, health supplements, medical devices and other health and wellness products safely, conveniently and confidently through Lazada Malaysia’s (Lazada) partnership with the Malaysian Pharmacists Society (MPS).

Lazada in a statement today said a memorandum of understanding (MoU) had been signed on May 25 to enable MPS’ verification of online pharmacies and health category sellers on the e-commerce platform, which adds value and provides a competitive advantage to the sellers.

The statement added that the partnership would contribute towards realising the vision of an e-commerce ecosystem that was based on a strong level of trust among consumers, while raising awareness of the importance of buying certified quality medical and health products from credible sellers.

“The verification will be awarded by MPS to official flagship stores on LazMall - the authenticity-guaranteed online destination - as well as verified health category sellers on Lazada Marketplace.

“Consumers can identify verified online pharmacies on Lazada by looking for the ‘MPS Verified Certification’ displayed on their storefront,” read the statement.

Lazada chief operating officer Darren Rajaratnam said the MPS verification of online pharmacies on Lazada would safeguard its customers by providing them the assurance needed in order to make risk-free online purchases of medical and health care products.

“Coupled with the inclusion of more pharmacies and sellers, this will facilitate ease of access and convenience in buying common medicines, while making it possible for our customers to save time and money,” he said in the statement.

Meanwhile, MPS president Amrahi Buang in the same statement said that the MPS verification was a testament to the credibility of e-pharmacies (electronic pharmacies), while being crucial in raising awareness among consumers on the importance of purchasing certified products from accredited online pharmacies.

The online pharmacies’ range of health and wellness products will be highlighted under ‘LazHealth’, a trusted one-stop centre on the Lazada mobile application for consumers to shop online for certified health and wellness products.
