The extended form of DHA is Dubai Health Authority. It is an organization run by the Dubai Government to improve the overall health system of Dubai.
The DHA specifies that humidity in pharmacies has to be below 60%. Generally, all individual medicine manufacturers specify that their products be maintained below a humidity level of 60 or 65%. Hence DHA’s regulation is in line with the same. The pharmacy may keep a hygrometer to see the humidity reading.
Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air. Generally, the humidity of the air is measured in RH which is the short form of relative humidity. Humidity can affect the quality of different products during the storage and transit of the product. Especially, the pharmaceutical products are highly sensitive to humidity. Hence pharmaceutical industries need to have a firm control over the level of humidity during the storage and transit of medicines and vaccines. This is the very reason Dubai Health Authority has set a certain standard for the storage and transit of the pharmaceutical products.
All these criteria and other criteria for the storage of the pharmaceutical products can be found under Good Pharmaceutical storage and distribution practices. The DHA will approve the storage room of any pharmaceutical industry only if they have maintained these criteria in their storage room. Good Pharmaceutical storage and distribution practice has helped to maintain the high standard in pharmaceutical products as well as an overall health system.
In order to reduce the humidity levels, you can use a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier is a device to reduce the humidity of air inside a room. The moisture in the air is absorbed and converted into water. This helps to maintain the humidity below 60% as specified by DHA. There are different models of a dehumidifier with varying capacity. In order to decide the right dehumidifier please give us the dimension of your pharmacy. Depending on the size of the pharmacy, different models will be required. We will assist you to select the right capacity of the dehumidifier.
