WHO Prequalification services
WHO PQ audit, WHO GMP implementation or upgrade
Looking for WHO prequalification consultancy?
The Prequalification project, set up in 2001, is a service provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) to facilitate access to medicines that meet unified standards of quality, safety and efficacy for HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
Any manufacturer that wishes to have it's medicine included in the prequalification list can submit to the WHO. Subsequently the GMP manufacturer must submit its product data to the WHO so quality and efficacy may be assessed.
The manufacturer must also open its manufacturing sites to an inspection team which assesses working procedures for compliance with WHO Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Our commitment
Medicine supplied to the WHO are often provided to patients in challenging environments. Although patient safety is at the core of our business, we emphasize this even more when we're working on World Health Organization PQ/GMP projects.
By emphasizing patient safety we can ensure that organizations such as UNICEF, the ICRC, MSF and UNFPA receive safe medicine of constant pharmaceutical quality. These metrics are essential to the WHO/UNFPA procurement procedure.
