What are some measures that a licensee should take to ensure that the medicinal or health products are protected from any likelihood of contamination during delivery and transportation?
Healthcare Services (General) Regulations, Requirements on Transportation of Health Products
A licensee should ensure that the medicinal or health products are packed and transported in a manner that is:
protected from moisture or water;
protected from attacks by microorganisms or pests; and
not in contact with other materials (e.g., chemicals) or food.
A licensee should also ensure that the storage facilities holding the products prior to delivery and the transportation vehicles are cleaned/ decontaminated on a routine basis using appropriate cleaning methods to minimise the risk of cross contamination.
