What is WHO GMP?
WHO GMP Compliance refers to the essential standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO) that pharmaceutical factories must follow to ensure their products are safe, effective, and of high quality. These rules, known as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), dictate how medicines should be produced, inspected, and handled, focusing on cleanliness, organization, and thorough quality checks.
At Pharmadocx Consultants, we’re committed to guiding factories through the intricate path of achieving WHO GMP Compliance. Our expertise simplifies this complex process, ensuring that every aspect of production meets these critical international standards. With us, pharmaceutical factories don’t just achieve compliance; they master it, building a reputation for excellence in the competitive global marketplace.
Government Deadline: The government has set a deadline for mandatory revised Schedule M implementation of the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
- Companies with a turnover of over Rs 250 crore will have to implement the revised GMP within six months (by Feb, 2024)
- Companies with turnover of less than Rs 250 crore will have to implement it within a year (by August 2024)

The “5 Ps” of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
The “5 Ps” of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) refer to the critical areas that are considered foundational for the compliance and efficiency of manufacturing operations, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. These are designed to ensure that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. Here they are, simplified:
- People: The first P refers to the personnel involved in the manufacturing process. Proper GMP requires trained, qualified, and competent individuals to participate in production. This ensures that everyone understands and follows quality procedures and can perform tasks correctly, reducing the risk of contamination or production errors.
- Premises: This refers to the physical location where production activities occur. The premises should be designed to facilitate good hygiene practices, prevent cross-contamination, and generally support the correct flow of activities. This includes considerations for cleanliness, maintenance, space, and environmental factors (like temperature and humidity controls).
- Processes: These are the specific methods and procedures involved in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. Processes need to be clear, validated, and consistently followed, ensuring each product batch meets predetermined quality standards. This also includes documentation, change controls, and quality checks.
- Products: This refers to the materials used and the products produced. There needs to be a strong focus on the quality of raw materials, intermediates, and finished products. This encompasses everything from initial specifications to the examination of the final products, ensuring they are fit for consumer use.
- Procedures: These are the documented methods for all activities and operations, including storage, production, quality control, and distribution. Procedures ensure that all tasks are performed consistently and correctly, and they form the basis for quality assurance programs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is WHO GMP?
WHO GMP refers to the adherence to the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) outlined by the World Health Organization, ensuring pharmaceutical products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate for their intended use.
What are the key components of WHO GMP Compliance?
Key components include stringent guidelines on quality management systems, personnel qualifications, hygiene standards, equipment and facility suitability, documentation, production controls, and product quality assurance.
What is cGMP?
cGMP stands for “Current Good Manufacturing Practice,” and it represents the main regulatory standard for ensuring pharmaceutical product quality. Unlike Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), which outlines the guidelines for manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance of drugs, cGMP denotes the current standards that must be followed to meet these established quality guidelines.
What is GMP?
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any pharmaceutical production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. GMP covers all aspects of production from the starting materials, premises, and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff.
What is difference between cGMP and GMP?
GMP, or Good Manufacturing Practices, provides guidelines for manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance to ensure that drug products are safe and pure. cGMP, or Current Good Manufacturing Practices, emphasizes the need for procedures and systems that are up-to-date and reflect the latest advances in technology and science. The “c” in cGMP signifies that these practices are continually evolving, keeping pace with the advancements in methods, equipment, and processes to maintain product safety and quality. While GMP sets the standards, cGMP is about maintaining them in real-time, ensuring pharmaceutical products are consistently produced according to the highest standards.
What are the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)?
The main principles of GMP are:
- Develop detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
- Adherence to Established Protocols
- Thorough Documentation Practices
- Routine Surveillance of Infrastructure and Apparatus
- Hiring Skilled and Knowledgeable Staff
- Safeguarding Against Product Contamination
- Regulation of Product-Related Elements and Procedures
- Upholding Quality Across All Sectors (including operations, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution channels)
- Conducting Regular Standardized Reviews
