Antares Vision , Italian multinational, leading provider of Track Trace and quality control systems, which guarantee the safety of products and the transparency of supply chains through integrated data management, announces that on September 19th, 2025, Guinea-Bissaus Minister of Public Health, Dr. Augusto Gomes, signed into force the national Track Trace mandate, establishing one of the most ambitious pharmaceutical traceability frameworks in West Africa.
Building on the landmark agreement signed in February 2025 and the Ministers official visit to AV Groups headquarters in May, the collaboration is expanding into new strategic areas. These include establishing local pharmaceutical manufacturing capacities supported by Serialisation-as-a-Service solutions and extending traceability requirements into the medical devices sector, further reinforcing Guinea-Bissaus role as a regional leader in digital health.
We are proud to support this milestone and to announce the next phase of cooperation with the Ministry of Public Health. Pharmaceutical safety and transparency are the foundation of a modern healthcare system. With the National Drug Catalogue at the center of ARFAMEs oversight role, Guinea-Bissau is creating a model that ensures compliance, protects patients and provides sustainable access to medicines.
