Quality Generics: Pharmacoeconomics at its best

Recommendations for quality assurance systems focusing on prequalification of products and manufacturers, purchasing, storage and distribution of pharmaceutical products.

This framework outlines the quality standards and requirements of the RH commodities procured by UNFPA; describes the quality assurance processes before, during and after procurement; recommends actions to be taken on receipt of the commodities; and suggests considerations to be borne in mind throughout the supply chain, before use of the commodities.

The following document provides UNFPA’s technical requirements in the procurement of medical devices (medical equipment, renewable medical supplies, and medical kits excluding pharmaceuticals that might accompany kits). It is intended to give to submitters all the necessary information for them to complete understandable and homogenous dossiers.  From a general standpoint, UNFPA’s technical requirements are based on the current standards and regulations, for both the manufacturer’s quality assurance and devices compliance.
