🇹🇷 Country #24 just landed on the #TraceHub Country Tracker ..
And it happens to be the one that started it all.
#Turkey is, by every serious account, the first country in the world to run a full national, end-to-end pharmaceutical track & trace system.
The journey:
2008 → Project kickoff by #TİTCK (Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency)
2010 → Mandatory DataMatrix serialization at unit level
2012 → Full end-to-end track & trace goes live nationwide
Every pack carries a GS1 DataMatrix: GTIN (01) + Serial (21) + Expiry (17) + Batch (10).
#GTIN identifies the product, #GLN identifies every actor in the chain.
#Ä°TS Pharmaceutical Traceability system
#PTS packet transfer system which enables the sharing of data aggregation.
It doesn't stop at medicines:
→ İTS Mobile lets any patient scan a pack and check authenticity, recall status, expiry and price.
#24 on TraceHub Country tracker. But #1 in history.
