Pharmaceutical Regulatory Requirements in Cape Verde

The Entidade Reguladora Independente da Saúde (ERIS) is the competent authority for the authorization of human medicines in Cape Verde. ERIS is responsible for pharmaceutical regulatory functions including marketing authorization, while the Ministry of Health's Directorate General of Pharmacy contributes to national pharmaceutical policy and the control of medicines.

Cape Verde's pharmaceutical legislation regulates the marketing authorization, registration, manufacture, import, export and commercialization of human medicines.

Before commercial distribution, the applicable product should therefore meet the relevant authorization and registration requirements established by ERIS.

Marketing Authorization and Product Registration

Depending on the product and applicable pathway, pharmaceutical registration may involve documentation covering:

• Product composition and specifications

• Manufacturing information

• Manufacturing licence

• GMP documentation

• Pharmaceutical formulation details

• Quality-control information

• Stability data

• Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP), where applicable

• Free Sale Certificate (FSC), where applicable

• Packaging and labelling information

• Patient information leaflet

• Samples and reference documentation, where required

Cape Verde also provides a regulatory pathway for recognition of marketing authorization granted by another competent authority. ERIS's published framework specifically addresses recognition of an existing marketing authorization.

Import Requirements for Pharmaceutical Products

Commercial pharmaceutical imports require the importer to hold the appropriate import authorization/licensing and comply with Cape Verde's customs and pharmaceutical procedures.

The country's trade portal identifies pharmaceutical products under the relevant customs classification and indicates that imports of human medicines require a favourable technical opinion from the Ministry of Health as part of the import process. Commercial documentation includes the invoice, transport document, packing list and other applicable customs documents.

The local importer should verify the exact requirements applicable to each product before shipment.
