A case study on the ecosystem for local production of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and biologicals
Author: World Health Organization
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9240092765
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
The Local Production and Assistance (LPA) Unit in the Regulation and Prequalification Department (RPQ), Access to Medicines and Health Products Division (MHP), WHO, supports Member States (MS), particularly low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), to strengthen sustainable local production and technology transfer to improve timely, equitable access to quality, safe and effective essential medical products. The LPA Unit provides assistance and support to MS with an ecosystem-wide and holistic approach, such as fostering global coordination and partnerships, conducting ecosystem assessments for sustainable, quality local production, developing and implementing strategies/roadmaps, providing comprehensive capacity building and technical assistance, including for WHO Prequalification (PQ)/Emergency Use Listing (EUL), facilitating technology transfer (TT) and developing global resources on local production and TT. A landmark resolution WHA74.6 on strengthening local production of medicines and other health technologies to improve access was adopted in the Seventy-fourth World Health Assembly, signalling globally the important role local production plays in improving access and strengthening health security. Within this mandate, the LPA Unit, developed a series of case studies on the ecosystem for local production of pharmaceuticals, vaccines and biologicals, with a focus on country context in the low-and middle-income countries. These case studies add to the existing repository of resources on strengthening local production and technology transfer of health products for countries to leverage upon when countries embark in these areas. The countries in this series are Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal and Tunisia. From July to September 2022, a series of interviews and consultative meetings, including a review of available literature, policies and other documents, and administration of a questionnaire, were performed. This case study is intended to report the collated information in areas such as available policies, initiatives, financing, regulatory system, patent protection system, research and development work, markets and capacity and preparedness to uptake local production of quality-assured pharmaceuticals, vaccines (including mRNA vaccines), and biologicals. The expectations and needs of these countries were also collected and included in the case study, along with proposed recommendations, for the reader to see various viewpoints towards strengthening sustainable local production and achieving universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Preparing for Future Products of Biotechnology
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309452058
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Between 1973 and 2016, the ways to manipulate DNA to endow new characteristics in an organism (that is, biotechnology) have advanced, enabling the development of products that were not previously possible. What will the likely future products of biotechnology be over the next 5â€"10 years? What scientific capabilities, tools, and/or expertise may be needed by the regulatory agencies to ensure they make efficient and sound evaluations of the likely future products of biotechnology? Preparing for Future Products of Biotechnology analyzes the future landscape of biotechnology products and seeks to inform forthcoming policy making. This report identifies potential new risks and frameworks for risk assessment and areas in which the risks or lack of risks relating to the products of biotechnology are well understood.
