REPLACED BY CD-ROM Quality Assurance of pharmaceuticals. A compendium of guidelines and related materials. Updated 2011
Quality assurance of pharmaceutical products is a continuing
concern of WHO. Despite efforts made around the world to ensure
a supply of quality and effective medicines, substandard, spurious
and counterfeit products still compromise health care delivery in
many countries.
To respond to the global need for adequate quality assurance of
pharmaceuticals, WHO's Expert Committee on Specifications for
Pharmaceutical Preparations has over the years made numerous
recommendations to establish standards and guidelines and
to promote the effective functioning of national regulatory and
control systems and the implementation of internationally agreed
standards by trained personnel. Many of the relevant documents
endorsed by the Committee are reproduced in this volume,
providing guidance covering all aspects of good manufacturing
practices (GMP). Important texts on inspection are also included.
Most of the material has been published separately in the Expert
Committee's reports. This compendium brings it together to make
it more accessible and of greater practical value to those working
in faculties of pharmacy, in medicines regulation and control, and
in the pharmaceutical industry.
This is the second updated edition of the compendium and
includes texts published in 2005 and 2006 in the WHO Technical
Report Series. |
