Ensuring Supply Continuity for Medically Necessary Drug Products
Your Game Plan for Compliance and Supply Chain Assurance
An FDAnews Webinar
Tuesday, April 20, 2010 · 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EDT
In January 2010, the FDA released a draft guidance that requires manufacturers of medically necessary drug products (MNPs) to have specific emergency plans — and corresponding SOPs — for each of their facilities in case of supply chain disasters or high absenteeism.
