IN THEIR ACTIVITIES, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND MEDICAL ORGANIZATIONS OFTEN FACE THE NEED TO PROCESS INFORMATION AND DATA THAT FALL UNDER A PARTICULAR SPECIAL LEGAL REGIME – PERSONAL DATA, EXCLUSIVE DATA ON CLINICAL TRIALS, MEDICAL SECRECY, TRADE SECRETS, KNOW-HOW, ETC.
IT IS ALSO NECESSARY TO ADD TO THIS DATA ARRAY THE INFORMATION ON TRACKING THE PATH OF A DRUG ALONG THE DISTRIBUTION CHAIN – IN ORDER TO FULFILL MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS TO LABELING.
FOR HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS, USING DATA FROM UNIFIED INFORMATION SYSTEMS CREATED IN FURTHERANCE OF TELEMEDICINE LEGISLATION BECOMES A MATTER OF PARTICULAR RELEVANCE.
HOWEVER, CONSTANT ATTENTION IS ALSO REQUIRED TO TRANSFER INFORMATION IN THE FORMAT OF EXTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS (ADVERTISING, MARKETING ACTIVITIES), WHICH REQUIRES COMPLIANCE WITH A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SYSTEMATIZE ALL THIS VARIETY OF INFORMATION AND DATA AND MAKE IT A MANAGED ASSET.

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING
THE CIRCULATION OF COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS IS ONE OF THE MOST PRESSING ISSUES IN THE FIELD OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION FACED BY PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.
BOTH PRODUCTS IMPORTED TO THE COUNTRY AS A PARALLEL IMPORT, AND FAKE PRODUCTS PRODUCED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, WITHIN THE COUNTRY MAY BE CONSIDERED COUNTERFEITING.
EFFECTIVE ANTI-COUNTERFEITING IS POSSIBLE ONLY AS A RESULT OF SYSTEMATIC WORK THAT BRINGS TOGETHER A NUMBER OF FUNCTIONAL UNITS WITHIN THE COMPANY, EXTERNAL CONSULTANTS, AS WELL AS REGULATORY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
