Venezuela implements automated systems for pharmaceutical control

The Autonomous Sanitary Comptroller Service (SACS) conducted training sessions for state coordinators regarding the Automated Psychotropic System and the Integral Medicine Control System. Held on October 26 and 27, 2026, the initiative aims to strengthen regulation, supervision, and transparency within the national pharmaceutical sector.

Gerardo Briceño, Vice Minister of Resources, Technology, and Regulation at the Ministry of Popular Power for Health, supported these technological tools to modernize management, fiscalization, and the traceability of medicines. The SACS, in coordination with the Rafael Rangel National Institute of Hygiene (INHRR), performs market surveillance to ensure the distribution of safe and effective medical supplies.

Sanitary Comptroller Esperanza Briceño emphasized the necessity of acquiring these technological tools for improved inspection and oversight. The training sessions focused on digital platforms designed to simplify the registration and tracking of the flow of medicines and psychotropic substances throughout the country.
