Drug Master File (DMF) Preparation, Review & Regulatory Support Services –Africa

DMF Direct, a scientific arm of Zoesoe Exports Pvt Ltd, provides specialized Drug Master File (DMF) preparation, review, submission, and lifecycle management services for pharmaceutical manufacturers exporting to African regulatory markets.

African regulatory authorities increasingly require well-structured CTD-compliant Drug Master Files to support drug product registrations, API approvals, and regulatory evaluations.

Our team supports pharmaceutical companies in preparing submission-ready, regulator-friendly, and query-resistant DMFs aligned with:

• African Ministry of Health (MOH) requirements
• ICH guidelines
• CTD / eCTD format
• WHO Technical Reports
• Global regulatory standards

Our DMF documentation includes both:

• Open Part (Applicant’s Part)
• Closed Part (Restricted / Confidential Part)

This ensures regulatory authorities receive the required technical information while protecting confidential manufacturing data.
