Gap Detection

The gaps that stall African market submissions.

Each finding references the specific ICH, SAHPRA, or destination authority guideline — with the corrective action required to resolve it.

Zone IVb Stability

SA's hot/humid climate zone requires stability data many source dossiers omit entirely. Outbound routes have their own climate zone requirements flagged per destination.

CPP & GMP Certificates

Destination authorities require current CPP and GMP certificates from the originating country's authority. Currency, scope, and format requirements differ per route.

Bioequivalence Requirements

BE study requirements vary significantly by destination authority and product type. Foreign BE data accepted in one market is often insufficient for another.

Pregnancy Category Conversion

Classification systems differ across authorities. FDA categories A–X, SAHPRA, and African authority systems map non-trivially and require explicit conversion for each destination.

Scheduling & Classification

Scheduling under destination legislation may differ from source market classification. Determines label, dispensing, and advertising requirements in each market.

Pricing & Reimbursement Obligations

SA's MHSC single exit price and equivalent mechanisms in destination markets must be addressed. Obligations differ by product type and registration route.
