COFEPRIS, the Mexican sanitary agency, has finally decided to
continue working in a digital platform that would allow the
conclusion of several procedures in “minutes” rather
than months. This platform is an addition to the already
known Digipris.
The improvements in technology have caused more and more tasks
to be accomplished through a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone,
instantly breaking physical barriers along with the needs of users,
indeed it has become urgent and essential to governmental
institutions, such as COFEPRIS, to include such digital tools in
the day-to-day operation.
In the first stage of the digital plan, the benefits will impact
manufacturers of medical devices, warehouses (storage and/or
distribution), allopathic and homeopathic pharmacies, and retail
stores of medical devices or herbal remedies, among others.
Already, some digital procedures are now available on
COFEPRIS’ official website. As the platform will continue to
expand, it is expected that, in the next few months, users will be
able to carry out more than 30 types of self-managed and electronic
procedures for medicines and medical devices, followed by
cosmetics, food, and tattoos.
We hope that this initiative expands the digital alternatives
for health regulation and improves the quality of the service to
users, which will, indeed, directly impact the patients and
consumers of these goods and services.
