Quality Assurance Medicinal products are a key component of the medical care provided in MSF’s projects. We aim to ensure a continuous supply to the projects to meet the requirements of the related medical activities. © Dragan Markovic/MSF 2011 Medicinal products are imported into countries under the legal and moral responsibility of MSF. It is therefore our responsibility to ensure that these medicinal products meet Western quality standards concerning identification, efficacy, safety, etc. To assess and validate the quality of a medicinal product, MSF and pharmacists have developed a qualification procedure based on WHO recommendations (see the Qualitfication Scheme). From the analysis of parameters linked with the production site to the product itself, the entire production chain is checked before being validated.

Stock management MSF Supply has a large portfolio of products for which it provides price and delivery times. Great attention is thus given to control of these date with suppliers. © Dragan Markovic/MSF 2011 Stock management To improve supply to its missions, MSF Supply sets up stocks for certain articles to: Reduce delivery time by avoiding procurement time at the supplier Accelerate the production of kits Profit from advantageous prices granted from a certain volume.
