How we can help you

For locations where FDB does not already provide a regional version of MedKnowledge, our international knowledgebase of clinical decision support can be used in association with a local formulary that is mapped to FDB’s clinical identifiers.

This has been successfully implemented in numerous regional healthcare solutions in the Middle East, the Far East and Europe.

Currently, FDB has tens of thousands of unique combinations of generic products that can be linked to a local branded drug. We can either provide mapping services or our customers can map the drugs themselves.

Our experts have worked on countless successful integrations and we’d love to help you.
