Verification
The parallel distributors that we unite are registered wholesalers and operate in accordance with European and Bulgarian legislation and at the same time fulfill their public commitment honestly, transparently and ethically.
BAMPTD is a co-founder of the Bulgarian Drug Verification Organization - a group of all participants in the drug supply chain for the prevention and fight against counterfeiting of medicines. The introduction of a system for the verification of medicinal products throughout Europe is a key measure to ensure patient safety by preventing the entry of falsified medicinal products into the legal supply chain.
Why is medicine verification important?
Falsified medicines are a growing threat worldwide. To keep them out of the legal distribution chain the pharmaceutical sector has joined forces in developing a verification system that will be able to check whether medicinal products are genuine. The system is intended to comply with the EU’s new requirements for preventing falsified medicinal products and to ensure that patients have authentic medicines.
Legal basis
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161
