IRISH MEDICINES VERIFICATION ORGANISATION

The Irish Medicines Verification Organisation (IMVO) is the national body dedicated to safeguarding Ireland’s patients from falsified medicines. By operating the Irish Medicines Verification System (IMVS), IMVO ensures that every prescription‑only product can be authenticated at the point of supply, giving clinicians, pharmacists and patients confidence that the medicines they receive are genuine.

IMVO’s suite of services includes real‑time alert management, seamless connectivity tools for pharmacies and hospitals, and a dedicated community hub for pharmacy professionals. It also supports Marketing Authorisation Holders and FMD software providers, offering guidance and resources to help them meet regulatory requirements. Regular updates—such as the latest Windsor Framework news, webinars, and a comprehensive FAQ section—keep stakeholders informed and equipped to combat counterfeit medicines.

Through its proactive communication channels, news feeds and specialist events, IMVO fosters a collaborative environment where the entire healthcare supply chain works together to protect public health across the Republic of Ireland.
