First anti-tuberculosis medicine under USAID-supported PQM program achieves WHO prequalification
Date:2/7/2013

nufacturers of finished product or active pharmaceutical ingredients from around the world to prepare their products for prequalification. Some of these manufacturers produce multiple second-line tuberculosis medicines.

"Through this program, we are supporting manufacturers in meeting rigorous international standards," said Dr. Patrick Lukulay, vice president of global health impact programs at USP and director of the PQM program. "The availability of quality-assured medicines has long been a challenge. For multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, which is a growing threat to public health, a critical need exists and we hope to help fill this gap."

The PQM program is interested in partnering with more manufacturers on this technical assistance. Through a series of workshops held in conjunction with WHO and GDF, PQM has been reaching out to manufacturers in regions of the world with a high burden of tuberculosis or where manufacturers are working to improve their manufacturing practices. Upcoming workshops will be held in Brazil, China, Ghana and Indonesia.
