Sources: 14. Developments: 2. Mozambique has achieved significant milestones in its pharmaceutical regulatory and distribution systems. The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the National Medicines Regulatory Authority of Mozambique (Anarme) as a reliable regulator, awarding it Maturity Level 3 (ML3). This classification indicates a stable and functional system capable of overseeing the quality, safety, and efficacy of medicines and vaccines according to international standards. Following this regulatory recognition, the country addressed supply chain challenges caused by the destruction of a central medicine warehouse in Maputo, which President Daniel Chapo described as an act of sabotage. In response, the government launched a nationwide distribution initiative to replenish health units by moving supplies from the central depot to regional and provincial warehouses. To prevent theft and diversion, the Ministry of Health introduced traceability seals on medical supplies to track products through the National Health System. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Mozambique launches national medicine distribution and traceability measures Mozambique is initiating a massive national medicine distribution to address shortages caused by warehouse destruction, while introducing new traceability seals to prevent theft and diversion. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mozambique-launches-medical-supply-distribution-and-tracking-system ### 2026-08-24: Mozambique recognized by WHO as reliable medicine regulator The WHO has granted Mozambique Maturity Level 3 status, recognizing its national authority as a reliable regulator of medicines and vaccines capable of meeting international safety and quality standards. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mozambique-recognized-by-who-as-reliable-medicine-regulator --- Cite as: Mozambique medicine regulation and supply chain management.
