You have a hospital prescription and want it delivered instead of waiting in the hospital pharmacy queue. This guide walks through transferring any prescription to same-day home delivery, step by step.
How prescription transfer works
Step 1: Take a photo of the prescription. The full page — front and back if applicable. Make sure the doctor's name, signature, facility name, and date are visible.
Step 2: Upload or send to a Care Specialist. You can upload directly through the platform, or send via WhatsApp.
Step 3: Care Specialist verifies the prescription. They check that it includes all required elements (see below) and confirms the medications are available.
Step 4: Get offers from pharmacies in your area. You see prices from multiple pharmacies near the delivery address and choose.
Step 5: Same-day delivery. Medications delivered to the door — no hospital pharmacy queue.
What makes a prescription valid for transfer?
A prescription must include:
- Medication name: the exact drug (not just "blood pressure medication")
- Medication strength: e.g. Amlodipine 10mg
- Dosage and duration: e.g. "once daily for 30 days"
- Facility name: the hospital or clinic
- Doctor's name and signature
- Date: recent prescriptions are preferred; expired prescriptions may need renewal
Why transfer instead of using the hospital pharmacy?
| Hospital pharmacy | Transfer to Famasi |
|---|---|
| Wait 30–90 minutes in queue | Upload prescription in 2 minutes |
| Limited stock — often missing 1–2 items | We search 1,000+ pharmacies for everything on the script |
| Fixed pricing — no comparison | Offers from multiple pharmacies — you compare |
| No follow-up | Care Specialist monitors and coordinates refills |
| Have to return next month for the same thing | Set up monthly refills automatically |
From one-time transfer to ongoing care
A prescription transfer solves today's problem. But if the prescription is for chronic medication, blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, your parent will need the same drugs next month. And the month after.
Instead of transferring the same prescription every month, set up a medication refill schedule. The system sends a refill notice when the current supply is running low. No re-uploading, no re-queuing.
