VeChain offering its traceability solution for 30 million people

This has been a big week for the VeChainThor as it made a series of developments that will add value in the long term. The world’s 20th largest cryptocurrency will be now used for its traceability solution for drugs and vaccines.

The Food and Drug Administration of China (CFDA) recently investigated the Changchun Changsheng Biotechnology, a vaccine manufacturer to find out that it was involved in “faulty and falsely documented vaccines” that has been described as “vile and Shocking” by the president Xi Jinping. The authorities have revoked the company’s license and initiated a recall for all of its unused vaccines.

Now, the Shanghai government has selected and is supporting VeChain’s traceability solution. In partnership with DNV GL, VeChain will be catering to millions of people. DNV Gl is an equity owner in VeChain that basically provides certification services to hospitals and pharma companies in Shanghai as per the official blog.

In combination with DNV GL, we introduce our Drug and Vaccine Traceability Solution. It will be deployed in Shanghai, serving 30 million individuals, and will soon be rolled out across China. It will be showcased at the China International Import Expo.https://t.co/WOFOXYUJ9X

The idea is to advance drug traceability, monitoring, security, and auditing by leveraging public blockchain technology. Apparently, VeChain is the “only approved blockchain traceability provider in Shanghai” that will be further rolled out across China.
