- The manufacturer or the exporter of drug formulations would have to print the barcode as per global standard at primary, secondary and tertiary packaging levels
- This would help tracking and tracing of the products and consequently minimize the chances of genuine medicine being considered fake or sub-standard
- The implementation of track and trace system applies to both non-SSI (small scale industry) and SSIs manufactured drugs.
