How we verify intelligence
Official facts are attributed to the issuing organization. Pharma Gate interpretation and recommended actions are separate editorial layers, not legal requirements or regulatory approval. Sources are prioritized: national regulators, WHO and recognized intergovernmental bodies, official procurement organizations, then other official governmental or institutional sources.
Publication records retain source title, version, issue date, verification date, country, sector and status. Draft / Public Consultation is distinct from Current. Superseded and Archived records do not represent current requirements. A verification date records the review performed; it is not an assurance of continuous monitoring. Always check the latest official source before acting.
