The Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) has been steadily tightening its Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, bringing Zimbabwean pharmaceutical standards increasingly in line with global benchmarks. For local pharmaceutical manufacturers, this means the provenance and documentation of every raw material matters more than ever.
- What WHO-GMP Certification Means
- WHO-GMP certification — based on the World Health Organization's Good Manufacturing Practices — confirms that a manufacturer produces pharmaceutical inputs under controlled conditions with:
- Validated manufacturing processes
- Full batch documentation and traceability
- Qualified personnel and equipment
- In-process and finished product testing
- Stable storage and distribution conditions
- Why Non-GMP Sources Create Risk
- Pharmaceutical raw materials from non-GMP sources carry multiple risks:
- Undisclosed impurities affecting product safety
- Inconsistent API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) potency between batches
- Inability to pass MCAZ audit inspections
- Product recall exposure
