EDQM On Air – The OMCL Network – A story of collaboration for safe and good quality medicines

EDQM On Air, the podcast on public health brought to you by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) of the Council of Europe, has just released a new episode!

We take it for granted that the medicines we take are safe and of good quality, but few know exactly how the EDQM contributes to making this a reality. For the past 30 years, the European Network of Official Medicines Control Laboratories (OMCLs) has conducted independent quality control testing of medicinal products for human and veterinary use, covering their entire life cycle. That means not only strict testing before they reach the market, but also market surveillance once they are on the market to detect any risk of defective or falsified medicines.

In this episode, Michael Wierer, who has been working to build the OMCL Network since its inception, presents this tireless effort to ensure that patients in Europe have access to safe, good quality medicinal products. Come explore its history and achievements and investigate why it matters so much for public health.

The first six episodes of EDQM On Air are already available and others will be released regularly. Tune in for expert insight, engaging discussions and inspiring stories, and discover how the EDQM, together with its stakeholders, is safeguarding public health in more ways than you ever imagined.
