What WHO-GMP covers
WHO-GMP covers premises and equipment, personnel and training, documentation, production controls, quality control, storage, complaints handling and self-inspection. Together these controls minimise the risk of contamination, mix-ups and errors.
Key principles
Every process is clearly defined and controlled. Personnel are trained. Manufacturing environments are qualified. Materials are traceable. Deviations are investigated. Records prove what was done, by whom and when.
How WHO-GMP certification is obtained
Regulatory authorities inspect the facility against the WHO-GMP guidelines. Certification is granted after satisfactory inspection and is renewed periodically. Certified facilities remain subject to routine surveillance.
Why it matters for buyers
Buying from a WHO-GMP compliant supplier means the medicine is manufactured to internationally recognised standards — reducing the risk of quality issues and supporting patient safety.
