Create Account

In order to be able to submit a request, a user needs to create an account in WIMEDS. This is done by filling the necessary information in the following link. A screenshot of the form to be filled is shown in the figure Create Account. Once the form is completed the user receives an email with a link that needs to be clicked in order to activate the account.

Create Account: the form used to allow users to create accounts that can request medical supplies.

Fill in and Submit Request

The task of submitting a new request starts with the requestor selecting the disease and the type of medicine to be requested. Next the requestor is expected to fill-in a form which consists of three tabs: 1) Selecting the Health facility for which the disease is requested. 2) Filling in information about the medicine requested and the patient for which the same is requested. 3) Uploading the necessary authorization documents that are required for the Medicine to be able to enter the Country.
