Pharmaceutical Activities © MSF Italy/2010 Wholesale distribution of medicines is an important activity in integrated procurement chain management. The guidelines set up the appropriate tooling to assist wholesalers with their activities and prevent forged drugs entering the legal procurement chain. Compliance with these guidelines will permit distribution chain control and, consequently, maintaining the quality and integrity of medicines. A quality system is in place to guarantee that: “medicines are acquired, held, supplied and exported in compliance with GDP (Good Distribution Practices) requirement; management responsibilities are clearly specified; products are delivered to the correct consignees in sufficient time; deviations from the established procedures are documented and subject to investigation; corrective and protective measures (CAPM) are taken to rectify the discrepancies and prevent them in compliance with the principles of quality risk management.” Extract from the Guidelines of 7 March 2013 concerning good wholesale distribution practices for medicines for human use (2013/C 68/01) MSF Supply SC hold several authorizations delivered by the Federal Agency called “Agence Fédérale des Médicaments et des Produits de Santé” (AFMPS): Autorisation de distribution (selon le modèle européen) Autorisation annuelle stupéfiants et sychotropes Notification de distribution et/ou exportation de dispositifs médicaux Notification comme opérateur de substances classifiées(Précurseurs) Certificat de conformité GDP Chaussée de Vilvorde 140, 1120 Bruxelles - 9 to 16:30 office-msfsupply@brussels.msf.org +32 2 249 10 00 Extranet Webmail FR EN Powered by WordPress | Theme: Astrid by aThemes.

Other ESCs (European Supply Center) MSF Logistique, based in Bordeaux (France), is one of the main Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) procurement centres. MSF Logistique supplies MSF missions with equipment and drugs as part of routine programmes and emergency responses (displaced populations, epidemics, natural catastrophes, conflicts, etc.). MSF Logistique includes all the procurement chain professions, from purchase to goods transport, and also offers services related to its activity. MSF Logistique is an approved pharmaceutical establishment, customs bonded warehouse and HPC. http://www.msflogistique.org Amsterdam Procurement Unit (APU) is the MSF Holland purchasing centre, based in Amsterdam. Unlike MSF Logistique and MSF Supply, which are logistic and storage centres, APU is a purchasing office that procures depending on orders from missions. There are partnerships between the different entities. MSF Supply and MSF Logistique are the main APU suppliers (kits and emergency stocks management). http://www.artsenzondergrenzen.nl/msf-supply-logistics.aspx Chaussée de Vilvorde 140, 1120 Bruxelles - 9 to 16:30 office-msfsupply@brussels.msf.org +32 2 249 10 00 Extranet Webmail FR EN Powered by WordPress | Theme: Astrid by aThemes.
