Please contact our Sales department.

IDA supplies mainly to public sector organisations. In some cases, where the public sector is not organised, IDA supplies to private organisations so patients still gain access to our high-quality medicines.

IDA wants to provide uniform, complete and correct labels and leaflets with the products IDA supplies. The information is in accordance with our quality standards and based on the innovator product leaflet. Furthermore, IDA wants to provide our worldwide customer base with multi-lingual labels. For IDA customers, the IDA label and packaging prove that the product is supplied according to high quality standards.

IDA acknowledges WHO/SRA (e.g.USFDA) approval. However, to assure that these prequalified products are supplied according to the approved dossier, we request essential information from this dossier to be able to verify the batches supplied through IDA by visual inspection, analytical control and verification audits.

IDA can provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every batch. An exception might be made for products that are procured through a wholesaler and that are actually on the market in a stringent regulated country, for example The Netherlands or the UK.

A Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP) can be provided for all our stock items. A CPP is issued by the national health authorities, and includes statements on whether or not the product is on the market in the country of origin, and the GMP status as assessed by the local authorities. Requesting a GMP certificate or a Free Sales certificate is not necessary when a CPP is requested, since GMP and Free Sales information is included in a CPP. It should be noted that the interpretation of GMP standards might differ between the different national authorities, and therefore the quality of information included in a CPP also might differ between countries.

IDA's product range counts 3,000 different medicines and medical supplies, of which about 700-800 most frequently asked are standard available from stock.

Most of IDA Foundation's products have labels in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. In addition, upon request, we regularly supply products with labels in other languages.

IDA Foundation strives to supply most products with at least 50% of total shelf life. In line with IDA policy, medicines with less than 6 months remaining shelf life are not distributed but are immediately incinerated by IDA.

IDA's products are mostly manufactured by generic manufacturers and to a lesser extent by branded manufacturers in both Asia (India, China) and Europe (UK, Germany, Austria, Cyprus, Spain, Belgium, Italy).

A generic medicine is a copy of the original branded product. Once the patent for the original product has run out, the pharmaceutical company who developed the medicine no longer has the exclusive right to produce and distribute this medicine.
With regards to cost-efficiency IDA prefers to supply generic products whenever possible, opting for branded options only when they are more affordable or if they are compulsory for meeting funding requirements or if there are still valid patents in a particular country for those products.
