Abstract
Many people in India live below extreme poverty. So, it becomes difficult for those people with low income to pay for their health care and medication. As a result, they live with a number of diseases and as a result, number of deaths increases daily. Apart from that, there are various people who are overdosing on drugs even after they have stopped their medication. Here, we have set up a website for donating medicines to NGOs. This program will help people in donating their unused medicines to NGOs and they can distribute them to people who need them. This site will help in reducing the cost of health services by making better use of unused drugs as well as helping poor or people with low income to get better healthcare. This site is also assisted in assessing the availability of essential medicines for nearby NGO’s. The purpose of this project is to donate unused medicines. Unused medicine can be donated to the poor for further use. This application helps users donate unused medicines to NGOs. Administrators manage members by logging in and deleting and blocking users who have provided incorrect or expired medications. The administrator needs to confirm the expiration date of the uploaded image. NGOs help manage inventory and track available medications.
