The approval of a not-for-profit humanitarian organisation as provided for in article L. 5124-7 is granted by the Minister for Health, after obtaining the opinion of the Minister for Humanitarian Action and, depending on the location of the proposed pharmaceutical establishment, of the Central Council of Section C or E of the National Order of Pharmacists.
If the Minister remains silent on the application for approval for more than four months, this is deemed to constitute a rejection decision.
