Quality Assurance

GDF Quality Assurance Process:

The Global Drug Facility (GDF) procures TB drugs for supply to eligible recipients through its Grant and Direct Procurement Services.

GDF contracted suppliers of TB drugs under the Grant and Direct Procurement Services are selected via competitive processes that ensure that all drugs to be supplied are either prequalified under the WHO Procurement, Quality and Sourcing Programme: Access to Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs of Acceptable Quality (WHO Prequalification Programme) or are approved for supply through a transparent, independent expert committee and are pending WHO Prequalification.

The products GDF procures are subject to the following Quality Assurance criteria:

  • Manufacturers' compliance with WHO/GMP standards as assessed under the aforementioned WHO Prequalification Programme
  • Product compliance with either:

Option (I): WHO-recommended standards for the quality, safety and efficacy of medicines as assessed under the aforementioned WHO Prequalification Programme, i.e. the product is Prequalified

Or in the absence of such compliance, the product is pending WHO Prequalification and is in

Option (II): compliance with the assessment criteria listed here.The listed criteria are determined by the WHO Prequalification Programme and product dossiers are assessed against these criteria by a transparent, independent expert committee convened by the WHO Prequalification Programme at the request of GDF. The committee is drawn from the same team of evaluators who assess product dossiers for quality aspects and for efficacy and safety under the WHO Prequalification Programme.

Where a product which complies with Option I has at least 3 manufacturers who comply with GDF tender criteria (click here for more details on tender criteria), GDF limits procurement of that product to those manufacturers.

  • All batches of all products procured by GDF, irrespective of whether product compliance falls under option I or option II, are subject to independent quality control testing by a laboratory that (a) is from a country that is a member of the Pharmaceutical Inspection Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S) (b) from a country that is party to the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for the Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) or (c) has been assessed by WHO PSM/QSM and found to meet recommended international norms and standards for the analysis of products.

Streptomycin, Water for Injection and Hypodermic Syringes are the only exception, whereby GMP is based on approval of the National Regulatory Authority of the manufacturing country as per WHO Guidelines. Option II still applies for Streptomycin and Water for Injection as does independent quality control testing as indicated immediately above.
