PSUR Central – Global PSUR & PBRER Services

To address the "Congo" market effectively, it is essential to distinguish between the two neighboring nations: the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Republic of the Congo. Both are currently undergoing major regulatory overhauls in 2025 to align with WHO Maturity Level standards and regional harmonization.

PSUR Central – Global PSUR & PBRER Services

Scientific Compliance for the Congo Basin: ACOREP (DRC) | DPM (Congo) | ICH | WHO

PSUR Central, the specialized scientific arm of Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd, provides premium Periodic Safety Update Report (PSUR) and PBRER services tailored for the pharmaceutical and medical product sectors across both the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa) and the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville).

1. Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

Focus: ACOREP | National Pharmacovigilance System

The DRC is the largest pharmaceutical market in Central Africa. As of 2025, the Congolese Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (ACOREP) has fully assumed all regulatory functions from the former DPM. Under Order 1250/SP013, the DRC’s National System of Pharmacovigilance now mandates that all Marketing Authorization Holders (MAHs) identify and report adverse effects, particularly those that are serious or unexpected.

  • ACOREP Compliance: We provide the technical dossiers required for ACOREP’s rigorous "Market Authorization" and "Renewal" processes.

  • Safety Monitoring: We assist in preparing reports for the National Pharmacovigilance Commission, which now oversees safety during both clinical trials and post-market use.

  • Multi-Regional Clinical Trials (MRCT): Specialized preparation of DSURs for sponsors conducting research in collaboration with the INRB (National Institute for Biomedical Research).

2. Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville)

Focus: DPM | Lomé Initiative | CEMAC Harmonization

In Brazzaville, the Directorate of Pharmacy and Medicine (DPM) is the primary authority. In 2025, the Congo is aggressively implementing the Lomé Initiative and the CEMAC Sub-Regional Plan to combat substandard and falsified medicines.

  • CTD Format & French Language: We ensure all PSURs and PBRERs are drafted in the mandatory CTD format and provided in high-level French, as required by DPM-Congo.

  • WHO Global Benchmarking Tool (GBT): Our reports are designed to help local and international firms align with the DPM’s ongoing "Maturity Level" strengthening, supported by the WHO.

  • 5-Year Renewal Cycles: Managing the safety documentation necessary for the 5-year Marketing Authorization (MA) maintenance.

Our Specialized Services

Our scientific precision supports the public health goals of both Kinshasa and Brazzaville:

  • ICH E2C (R2) Compliant PBRER Preparation: Transitioning from simple data listings to robust Benefit-Risk Evaluations that satisfy Central African reviewers.

  • Post-Market Surveillance (PMS): Drafting the annual safety reports required for products registered through the CEMAC or national routes.

  • Bilingual Technical Writing: Full dossier preparation and translation in French and English, ensuring technical accuracy in both official regulatory languages.

  • Signal Detection: Utilizing scientific methodologies to validate and assess safety signals, incorporating data from the VigiBase system and local spontaneous reporting.
