KUALA LUMPUR, 11 July 2024 – Alpro Pharmacy is thrilled to announce the launch of Malaysia’s first-ever Smart Medication Locker, an innovative solution set to revolutionise the way medications are stored and dispensed, offering unprecedented convenience, medical confidentiality, and medication safety.
The SIRIM certified Smart Medication Locker, named ‘Na-Yao’, translates to ‘Get Medicine’ in Chinese, aptly describes its primary function. Specifically designed to accommodate various medication forms such as tablets, capsules, liquids, and sprays, Na-Yao is ideal for those with unpredictable work schedules, offering 24/7 access in a secure, private setting.
Ph. Lim En Ni, Chief Pharmacist of Alpro Pharmacy, said, “At Alpro, we prioritise medication safety and confidentiality, especially for those needing to access their medications securely at any time. Na-Yao, our innovative Smart Medication Locker, ensures that medications are kept safe from environmental hazards and unauthorized access, offering a dependable solution for individuals with demanding schedules. This system is fully supported and maintained by our team to ensure optimal functionality and safety.”
Under typical conditions, delivered medications might be left in unsafe environments, such as under direct sunlight or in unsecured mailboxes, potentially degrading the medication’s efficacy and safety. Na-Yao addresses these challenges by ensuring that medications are stored safely away from environmental threats.
Another critical aspect of Na-Yao is its commitment to medical confidentiality. In a market where privacy concerns are growing, Na-Yao provides a confidential way to access medications, safeguarding patient information and adherence to treatments without compromising privacy.
Currently, Na-Yao is being introduced at selected corporate partner locations in Klang Valley, marking a pilot run with plans for nationwide expansion in the future. The staggered rollout aims to provide widespread access to advanced medication management solutions, addressing the need for more flexible, reliable, and discreet medication dispensing.
Additionally, Lim noted, “Commitment to medication safety extends beyond secure dispensing. Each Na-Yao Smart Medication Locker is equipped with a Safe Medication
Disposal Bin, promoting responsible disposal of unwanted medications. By doing so, we aim to reduce pharmaceutical pollution in our waterways, which is critical as nearly all of Malaysia’s domestic water supply comes from surface sources like rivers and streams.”
