Medicine Quality

Substandard and falsified (SF) medicines negate the multiple benefits of modern healthcare, so good quality medical products are essential. By sharing global expertise and collating information, IDDO’s Medicine Quality Research Group strengthens knowledge of the scale of the problem and raises vital awareness among key stakeholders.

About Medicine Quality

Poor quality medicines jeopardise national, regional and global attempts to improve access to effective health care because they lead to avoidable morbidity, waste ﬁnancial resources and contribute to drug resistance.
