About
Compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is crucial for ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of pharmaceutical products, thereby protecting the health and well-being of the end patient. Adhering to these standards helps to maintain patient trust and ensures that the medications they receive are safe and effective.
Regulatory inspections play a vital role in ensuring compliance with GMP. They form the basis for the so-called 'licence to operate', i.e., the 'authorization' that regulatory authorities grant to manufacturing plants, allowing them to manufacture, control, release, and distribute pharmaceutical products. Dealing with a GMP inspection by a regulatory authority can be a tiring, difficult, and frustrating experience. The difficulties are even greater when the inspection has to be handled in another language (typically English) and with possible cultural barriers. To make the inspection a manageable and fulfilling, albeit tiring, experience requires good preparation, the ability to organise and represent the company, the quality management system, and the production facilities to the best of one's ability.
