The national Drug Track & Trace system, known as RSD, was built as a full serialization-based ecosystem covering the product journey end-to-end.

The journey started with:

=Serialization at manufacturing level

=Aggregation (unit → carton → pallet)

=EPCIS data exchange through PTS (Package Transfer System)

=Dispensing by serial number at pharmacy level

This was a classic EPCIS-driven traceability architecture, visibility across the entire supply chain hierarchy.

Instead of full aggregation reporting across the mid-supply chain, reporting transitioned to reporting by

=GTIN

=Batch

=Quantity

=Manufacturers still serialize. Pharmacies still dispense by serial.

But reporting in the middle of the chain moved toward a verification logic rather than full aggregation dependency.

=Local manufacturers report shipments directly into the system.

=Imported products: data of the shipment send by imported manufacture, and reporting starts from the local agent upon arrival.

Earlier this year, the#SFDA engaged with the National Committee of Pharmacies to enhance retail participation in RSD reporting ,reinforcing pharmacy contribution in the verification loop.
