About DMVO
The Danish Medicine Verification Organisation (DMVO) was established to implement an EU directive in Denmark. The purpose of the directive is to detect, by means of an IT system, falsified prescription medicines in the legal supply chain.
The Danish Medicine Verification Organisation (DMVO) was established on 21st November 2016. It is a private organisation with the purpose of administering, operating and developing the national medication verification system. All prescription medicine packages must have a seal on the package as well as a 2D barcode, which is registered in a European database (HUB) by manufacturers and parallel importers before they are placed on the market in Europe. At the Danish pharmacies and hospitals, the pack must be verified in the system before it is handed over to the patient.

Representatives from the Danish Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry (Lif), the Danish Industry Association for Generic and Biosimilar Medicines (IGL), the Danish Association of Parallel Importers of Medicines (FPM), AMGROS, the Danish Pharmacy Association and MEGROS make up DMVO’s board of directors and who work together to ensure a good framework for DMVO and the organisation’s work.
