Over 50 people from all local stakeholder organisations attended this important meeting. Aegate presented information on the FMD as well as practical insight gained in running medicines authentication services in Belgium, Greece and Italy, where over 3.3 billion medicines have been checked with Aegate's state of the art authentication service.
Implementation of a national verification system in Romania is a vital stepping stone to patient safety and decisions can be made now for local needs. Aegate is ready to deploy at both European and national levels, and looks forward to continued collaboration with the Romanian stakeholders.
