The Kazakhstani citizens can get drugs via a QR-code through an e-Densaulyq service in the eGov mobile app.

A patient is identified via a QR code thus, ensuring the transparency and minimizing the case of additions. The pharmacies, in turn, will process the prescriptions faster and more accurately, bringing a positive effect on the quality of customer service and reducing waiting time.

The service would allow the patients to receive the drugs according to the prescription with an e-document rather than a hard copy document.

How does it work?

The e- Densaulyq service is integrated into the e-Gov mobile.

  • the patient will go to the doctor, the last will write an e-prescription in the DPIS system;
  • the patient needs to open an e - Densaulyq in the e-Gov app mobile;
  • go to the “Prescriptions - Outpatient drug provision” section;
  • get a QR code for each prescription;
  • go to the pharmacy and show the required QR code to the pharmacist.

The QR code scanners are available in all the health facilities (outpatient facilities) participating in the pilot.

As a result, the pharmacist will not have to enter the prescription no. by hand to issue a drug, and the patient will not have to pick up a hard copy of the drug prescription with him.
