Fantom is excited share with the community that the Afghan Ministry of Health will be using Fantom technology in various critical public health initiatives. These include detecting counterfeit drugs, along with creating blockchain-based hospital medical records and electronic patient healthcare records.

The Fantom Foundation will strive to support governments and institutions across the world to adopt the usage of Fantom technology, and we’re excited to embark on this journey with the Afghan Ministry of Health.

This new collaboration falls in line with the acquisition of new talent in the Middle-Eastern region, and our expansion towards pushing for the adoption of Distributed Ledger Technology in the health and supply chain sector.
