SUMMARY:Industry Webinar | Updates on Regulatory Information Management (RIMS) Roll-Out
DESCRIPTION:The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) is hosting an Industry webinar for updates on the Regulatory Information Management System (RIMS) roll-out. \nWhat to expect? \n\nSAHPRA will start with cut-over activities during the course of March 2024 and the implementation process on 02 April 2024. We have modernised the eCTD Guideline and have introduced a new flexible management structure to allow SAHPRA to add new submission types more easily in future and also manage the validation of submissions a lot easier.\nAs part of the RIMS implementation\, all eCTD applications (New applications\, Renewal Applications and Variation applications – Type Ia\, Ib and II) will be managed in the docuBridge environment and will be subject to the eCTD guidelines and requirements accordingly. From April to 30 June 2024\, there is an interim requirement for a simple XML file to be included along with the eCTD dossier once loaded onto sFTP. We will go through the XML file requirements and duly share a “How-To” document and the simple template on the new Electronic Submissions Landing page.\nSAHPRA will also take the attendees through the roadmap for activities planned with the specific milestones for April 2024\, July 2024 and October 2024.\nWe will have a high-level discussion around the custom-developed Portal and also discuss the process we will be running to invite a limited number of Industry users to participate in the Focus Group testing\, along with internal users in May 2024\, June 2024 and September 2024 for the Portal Phase I test and feedback discussions.\n\nWho should attend? \nIt is quite important for the Industry users who will be preparing the submissions for Orthodox medicines and Biological medicines to attend this session to be apprised of the specifications guideline updates and linked changes and also where to find the relevant documents of matrix links. \nA similar Update session will be held once the eSubmission specifications and guidelines are ready – which tentatively will be held in July 2024. \nWe want this webinar to be interactive and engaging – so be sure to ask questions during the session through the chat interface. \n————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- \nPlease note that we are unable to provide the video recording due the global outage of MS Office 365 that affected the recording of the Teams Meeting. However\, please have a look at the presentation from our COO\, Christelna Reynecke on the South African eCTD 3.0 Launch – 14 March 2024. \nDownload Presentation

SUMMARY:Enhancing the public trust in COVID-19 vaccination
DESCRIPTION:Enhancing the public trust in COVID-19 vaccination: Progress and challenges in the regulation\, administration and rollout of vaccines in South Africa. \nThe race for countries to reach herd immunity continues globally. The prolonged Covid-19 pandemic has adversely affected the social and economic standing of many nations and South Africa is no exception. While vaccines bring a glimpse of hope the reality remains\, that the successful administration and rollout of Covid-19 vaccines is largely dependent on the enhanced public trust of the vaccines and related institutions. It is also appreciated that the rise of vaccine-related conspiracy theories and myths counter noble global efforts in fighting the Covid-19 Pandemic. \nScifest Africa hosted a  webinar that explored the progress and challenges related to the regulation\, administration and rollout of Covid-19 Vaccines in South Africa. \nThe discussion tackled the role of enhanced public trust in attaining vaccination goals as set by the government. The webinar will also investigate the projected impact of Covid-19 vaccine passports in accelerating vaccination for the South African population. \n\nWatch the video below:

SUMMARY:AEFI reporting microsite media briefing webinar
DESCRIPTION:The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA)\, invites you to the launch of the Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFI) reporting microsite. \nThe microsite will keep the public updated on reports of adverse events following immunisation (AEFIs) associated with COVID-19 vaccine administration. All medicines\, including vaccines\, can cause side effects. In the case of vaccines\, side effects or adverse events that occur after vaccine administration are known as AEFIs. However\, the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the risks. COVID-19 vaccines have proven to prevent severe forms of disease\, hospitalisation and death. \nWatch the webinar below: \n
