Taiwan First WHO GMP Certificated Veterinary Drug Company

Congratulations!

After Vetnostrum becoming the first veterinary drug company received the National Award of Outstanding SMEs in 2020, this year, we are the first Taiwanese company that successfully obtained certification in World Health Organization Good Manufacturing Practices (WHO GMP) from Animal and Plant Health Inspection Agency, Ministry of Agriculture.

The biggest difference between WHO GMP and GMP is 'Comprehensive verification to improve overall quality.' WHO GMP emphasizes that quality control comes from design and manufacturing instead of inspection. Thus, starting from raw materials and supplier selection must comply with international certifications and pharmacopoeias of top 10 developed countries. WHO GMP defines quality measures for both production and quality control. The key production parameters, equipment, inspection, and method validation of developed products must comply with WHO GMP guidelines to ensure stability and quality consistency within each product batches.   

To meet WHO GMP requirements, started from 2020, Vetnostrum followed WHO GMP guideline to inspect all hardware and software design, optimize product development and manufacturing, re-plan and implement validation. We also provided training to employees and strengthen quality control concepts, to improved overall 6 major systems includes Production, Facilities & Equipment, Laboratory Control, Quality System, Materials, and Packing & Labeling.

As the old saying goes ‘Efforts will always pay off.’ In November 2023, Vetnostrum obtained WHO GMP issued by Animal and Plant Health Inspection Agency, Ministry of Agriculture!

The quality improvement is a never-ending journey, we will keep going and complying with international quality standards. We will continue operating sustainably and dedicating to provide best products for farming and companion animal healthcare industry.
