According HealthNewsNG, Nigeria's Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, has announced 3 Nigerian pharmaceutical companies have met the World Health Organisation's Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Prequalification for the production of drugs against malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberkulózis and other diseases.
The pharmaceutical companies are Evans
Pharmaceutical Ltd, May & Baker Pharmaceutical Ltd and Chi Pharmaceutical Ltd.
Chukwu said the firms got WHO's approval after demonstrating acceptable levels of compliance with the WHO GMP after Audits/Inspections by WHO prequalification team.
He revealed that prequalification is one of the major challenges of the Nigerian local drug industries and has been of great concern to the Nigerian government because money and recourses were being lost by government for non-WHO prequalification of local drug manufacturing companies.
The minister revealed that out of the 11
companies that started the journey, four have succeeded. He expressed optimism that the remaining seven will be pre-qualified soon.
