The WHO Prequalification Programme for Medicines (PQP) was initiated in 2001 as a service provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) to facilitate access to medicines that meet unified international standards of quality, safety and efficacy for HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and reproductive health.
The work is carried out through:
* Stringent assessment of pharmaceutical product dossiers.
* Inspection of pharmaceutical manufacturing sites (both for finished dosage forms and active pharmaceutical ingredients)
and contract research organizations (CROs).
* Prequalification of pharmaceutical quality control laboratories (QCLs).
* Advocacy for medicines of assured quality.
