Morocco Extends Validity of Drug Import Documents to Ensure Medical Supply Chain

The Ministry of Health has taken an exceptional preventive measure in favor of drug and health product import establishments, in order to ensure the continuity of the services provided by the Directorate of Medicines and Pharmacy (DMP).

Allow establishments to import their products and release them at customs. This is the full scope of the exceptional preventive measure. A note from the Ministry of Health dated April 17, 2020 addressed to the Director of Customs and Indirect Taxes on the extension of the validity of administrative documents relating to medicines and health products provides information on this measure.

The documents issued to drug and health product import establishments by the Directorate of Medicines that have expired remain valid until the end of the epidemic situation in Morocco, the note specifies.

Concretely, this preventive measure of the Ministry of Health aims to fight against the spread of the coronavirus, on the one hand, and to ensure the continuity of the services provided by the Directorate of Medicines and Pharmacy, on the other hand.
