General objective
The MEDISAFE project aims to support the fight against falsified medicines through a regional approach in Central and East Africa.
Public delivery context
- duration: 3 years
- stated geographic scope: 11 countries
- stated funding: European Union, with a total budget of EUR 4 million
- stated leadership model: Expertise France with the CHMP as part of a consortium
Working approach mentioned publicly
According to the public description, the CHMP works with laboratories, pharmaceutical authorities and customs departments to identify infiltration risks linked to falsified and substandard products.
A regional approach rests on unglamorous groundwork: aligning control methods across laboratories with unequal means, making results comparable from one country to the next, and equipping the services that intercept suspect products so that a report leads to a decision.
