eCTD -eQALs the affordable South African Solution for eCTD.
The deadline for eCTD only submissions is 31 March 2022.
eQALs is a South African developed affordable eCTD solution already used by companies and consultants alike.
If you thought eCTD software was unaffordable and out of reach for you, think again, think eQALs our very own affordable South African solution.

SAHPRA Communication 12 October 2021

The purpose of this document is to provide an update to all applicants regarding the eCTD implementation roadmap and the revised deadline. Reference is made to a SAHPRA-ITG working group meeting, held on the 06th of August 2021, where the eCTD Implementation Roadmap was further discussed and an extension to take us through to 31 March 2022, was communicated.

For close friends. I have some very personal reasons for this post. It is in the hardest moments in life that you realize who your real family, friends or people are really interested in you. People's true colors come out if attention is not on them. Unfortunately, some friends will press ''likes'' but they really don't read it because it takes time to read this statement and when they see it's long, they skip it. Now I am looking at those who take the time to read this post until the end..... (I think I will figure out 5 maybe 6 will). Maybe some of you like me and some don't, but if you're on my Facebook, it's because I like you. I would like to see if we can chat even more and write something for each other. I decided to participate in an experience called ''Breadbread Encounter'. The idea is to see who reads posts without a photo. We are so consumed with technology that we forget the most important thing: good friendships. If no one reads this post, it will be a short social experiment. But if you finish reading this to the end, I would like you to comment on us in one word. For example: a place, an object, a person, a time when you remember me. Then copy this text and post it to your page (don't share) I'll go to your page to leave a word that reminds me of you. Please don't comment if you don't have time to copy the text. This will destroy the experiment. Let's see who spent their time reading and reacting according to general story on Facebook! Thank you for participating! The power of unity!! To everyone who has lost someone or is in battle, here is a hug for each of you and your loved ones!
Let's see what happens!
