Safer pharmaceutical distribution for seven years

February 9 marks seven years since the Finnish medicines verification system was introduced. Suomen Lääkevarmennus Oy, Fimvo, was established three years earlier to develop and prepare the system. The model used to build the new system was unique – all actors across the pharmaceutical supply chain committed their time to creating genuinely effective operating practices.

Today, the system plays a central role in the fight against falsified medicines. Its operation is based on unique identifiers added to medicine packs, enabling the verification of medicines throughout the entire supply chain – from pharmaceutical manufacturers through wholesalers to pharmacies. The Finnish medicines verification system is also part of the wider European framework.

Let’s continue our well-functioning cooperation against falsified medicines!
