NMVO (National Medicines Verification Organisation)

NMVO: National Medicines Verification Organisation. Each Member State is required to have an NMVO to establish and run an NMVS in its country (although multi-country regional NMVOs are possible). These are generally incorporated under the Blueprint model  by representatives of national organisations representing research-led manufacturers, generic manufacturers, parallel distributors, wholesalers and pharmacies, although the exact nature of the governing boards and the number of directors can vary from country to country. The key task of the NMVO is to appoint a Blueprint Service Provider to operate the NMVS.
