Competency framework

The Competency framework outlines the essential competencies required to effectively combat SFMPs. It is aligned with WHO's PDR strategy and includes specific and cross-cutting competency domains. The framework serves as a basis for curriculum development, ensuring that training programs address the required knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

The prevention domain focuses on securing the production, procurement, distribution, and use of medical products to prevent SFMPs. The detection domain covers the identification and reporting of SFMPs throughout the supply chain. The response domain outlines the competencies needed for assessing and mitigating risks associated with SFMPs, including patient management and regulatory actions.

2.3 Cross-cutting competency domains

The cross-cutting domains of communication, collaboration, leadership, and research are explained, emphasizing their importance in a comprehensive approach to combating SFMPs.
