The EXTEDO solution will validate, import, and review electronic submission information sent by pharmaceutical companies on electronic media such as CDs or DVDs. A number of industry customers in South Africa have already started using the EXTEDO submission management solution for creating eCTD, NeeS, and paper-based submissions.

The selected solution is based on the EXTEDO EURS is Yours Solution (European Reviewing System), which has been deployed at the European Medicines Agency and many other European regulatory authorities. Regional requirements of MCC South Africa have been jointly worked out and are adopted within the new EXTEDO solution.

"Currently the drug approval process in African countries can take as long as three years," stated Tore Bergsteiner, CEO for EXTEDO. "The delays deny timely access of essential medicines to the sick. South Africa is committed to dramatically reduce registration times. It will be the first African country to start a time-effective reviewing process and accept electronic submissions instead of paper-based submissions. We are looking forward to working with the MCC to bring medicines to the South African people faster."
