This chapter is reprinted and available individually from Good Distribution Practice: A Handbook for Healthcare Manufacturers and Suppliers, Volume 1 edited by Siegfried Schmitt, a text that collects in one place invaluable and comprehensive regulatory, manufacturing and distribution guidance and reference.

"The only way to be able to protect patients from substandard and falsified medical products is that each and every part of the manufacturing and supply chain is aware of its own influence on the quality of a medicinal product ... by preventing any negative influence of the quality, efficacy or safety ... and assuring that the medicinal product stays within the legal supply chain."

From the text Foreword by Lea Joos, Government of Upper Bavaria
