Quality Assurance
MEG has a dedicated QA team who verify and qualify individual suppliers and manufacturing sites to ensure cGMP guidelines are completely complied with, so all pharmaceutical products and medical and laboratory supplies are of required quality. Our dedicated GMP experts are auditing and monitoring all production facilities which are not GMP certified by an SRA authority. MEG’s own ERP system ensures product and kit traceability upto batch level.
The wide range of assured quality products
In response to the global demand for product diversity, MEG runs its own comprehensive supplier and product qualification system which enables us to give a green light to a wide range of products. While we are supplying medicines sourced from SRA/WHO approved sites, we also supply products from non-SRA sites and verify the quality of products as being manufactured complying with GMP standards (pharmaceutical products) or ISO/EU standards (non-pharmaceutical health products).
For Medical Supply products, MEG’s own product and supplier screening and approval process verifies ISO and CE certification. This ensures compliance with international ISO management principles of manufacturers as well as EU-Certification standards of all medical supplies.

Quality Control
To complete the quality assurance process, MEG stringently checks and documents all pharmaceutical products against defined international quality standards. We screen for characteristics such as quality standard, composition, shelf life and stability. Upon receipt in our warehouse and before delivery to the use destination, we verify labelling and documentation and send random samples to independent WHO pre-qualified QC laboratories for testing.
