The PHARMACEUTICAL POOL is an arm of the Operations Department of PSFCI. It brings together many actors responsible for implementing PSFCI’s pharmaceutical activities.

The aim is to reach the required legislative and regulatory standards in the area of pharmacy while staying within humanitarian boundaries.
So, the work of the Pharmaceutical Pool helps guarantee PSFCI’s expertise in: first, the pharmaceutical field, and second, the quality assurance of the operations carried out by the NGO.

The Pharmaceutical Pool is supported in its work by a SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE made up of 12 resource persons in all the areas of public health expertise, who will help to address the new challenges of humanitarian aid.
