Close monitoring of medicine stocks proved particularly useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. The FAMHP managed to act proactively and find solutions in time. The monitoring was done manually, but is now automated using a new Stock Monitoring Tool.
Thanks to the latter, the data is automatically forwarded to the FAMHP by authorisation holders (manufacturers), parallel distributors and wholesaler-distributors. The new tool enables faster analysis by the FAMHP, so that medicine stocks approaching shortage can be identified more quickly and that, in case of problems, there is also a better overview of the availability of alternative medicines.
The tool will now be used for all medicines against COVID-19.
