Governments are duty-bound to ensure the safety of their citizens by ensuring the quality of medicines, medical devices and other products that are shipped to their countries, including condoms. This duty is shared by all development partners, including UNFPA, who procure commodities for countries. To this end, stringent measures are taken to ensure that commodities procured for distribution to recipient countries are of the highest quality possible.
