A new digital pharmacy decision-support platform, RxBook, has been launched at the Pharma West Africa event as part of efforts to improve access to real-time medicine information for healthcare professionals in Nigeria.

The platform was developed by EHA Pharma in collaboration with Pharmaplus Nigeria and eHealth Africa.

According to the developers, RxBook is designed to address a longstanding challenge in pharmacy practice—limited access to timely and reliable information at the point of care. In many settings, pharmacists continue to rely on multiple sources, including printed materials, which may not reflect current updates such as drug recalls, interactions, or evolving clinical guidelines.

The platform integrates key decision-support tools into a single system, allowing healthcare professionals to search medicines, check drug interactions, access clinical guidance, receive recall updates, report adverse drug reactions, and manage medication procurement within a unified workflow.

Speaking on the rationale behind the platform, Adam Thompson, Founder of EHA Group, said:

“Across healthcare, we consistently see a gap between information and action. The knowledge exists, but it’s often fragmented across systems that don’t connect. RxBook was built to close that gap—by bringing critical information into one place, so it can be used in real time, where decisions are actually made.”

Also speaking at the event, Pharm. Ahmad I. Yakasai, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pharmaplus Nigeria Ltd, highlighted the importance of collaboration in developing the platform.

“What makes this different is not just the product, but the thinking behind it. When you bring together practice, distribution, and technology, you start to solve the problem properly. RxBook reflects that—it’s built around how pharmacy actually works, and it gives you clarity at the point where decisions are made,” he said.

During a presentation at the event, Abdulkareem Iyamu, Vice President, Business Development at EHA Clinics, demonstrated the platform’s functionality and its application in pharmacy workflows.

“RxBook is designed as a decision layer within pharmacy practice. It connects information, validation, and action in one continuous flow—so from the moment you search, you can verify, decide, and move immediately. That shift—from fragmented checks to a single, reliable workflow—is where the real value lies,” Iyamu said.

The launch of RxBook marks a step toward strengthening digital tools in Nigeria’s healthcare system, particularly in supporting pharmacists with faster and more informed decision-making at the point of care.
