Last week, despite the heavy rain pouring outside, OSMR had the pleasure of hosting the Technical and Quality Assurance Groups meetings in Bucharest.
Together with representatives from the National Medicines Verification Organisations (NMVOs) across Europe, a representative of the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices and Arvato we have spent three days exchanging best practices, discussing new developments, and exploring how we can make our National Medicines Verification Systems even stronger and more efficient.
Collaboration and knowledge-sharing remain key to ensuring that the system continues to protect patients and support all stakeholders involved in safeguarding medicines authenticity.
Over three days of discussions and workshops, participants exchanged best practices, shared insights, and explored ways to enhance the efficiency and performance of the National Medicines Verification Systems.
The event underlined the importance of cross-border collaboration and continuous improvement within the European network — key elements in ensuring that the system continues to protect patients and support all stakeholders involved in safeguarding the authenticity of medicines.
"It's always valuable to meet in person and exchange experiences — every NMVO brings unique insights that help strengthen the system as a whole." – Livius Carp, Operations Manager OSMR
"Events like this help align best practices and identify new ways to improve the system's performance and support all stakeholders." – Andrei Grigore, Head of Falsified Medicines Alerts Office
"The discussions have been very productive, we've emphasized, once again, the importance of a better and more clear communication which will contribute to a smoother future planning." – Peter Berger-Piascek, Operations Manager AMVS
"A big thank you to OSMR for hosting us in Bucharest and creating such a welcoming environment for open discussions." Alexandru Chetrusca, BRM Arvato
