Guinea-Bissau established a pharmaceutical traceability system on Friday, Sept. 19, 2025, when Public Health Minister Augusto Gomes authorized the national Track and Trace mandate. Antares Vision, an Italian technology provider, will deliver the framework through its Government Solutions platform. The National Drug Catalogue will serve as the central database for medicine oversight, and the regulatory authority ARFAME will manage operations.
The AVGroupHub digital platform opens for registration in early October 2025 for manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, distributors, and dispensers. Enforcement begins in March 2026, but the initiative already produces revenue for Antares Vision during 2025. The ministry will deploy inspection protocols to eliminate unauthorized imports and protect patients from unsafe products. The collaboration expands into local manufacturing capacity and medical device tracking across West Africa.
