Trends applied by major international donors and procurers • Focus on quality • Harmonization of quality policies and standards • Quality is prerequisite for successful tenders • The Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria sets up an example • Similar criteria applied by others, e.g. UNITAID, GDF and UNFPA WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  3. The Global Fund “Making a “sustainable and significant” contribution to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals” Guiding principles • Operate as a financial instrument • Make available and leverage additional financial resources • Support programs that evolve from national plans and priorities • Performance-based funding mechanism Since 2002: 579 active grants in 144 countries (June 2010) WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  7. Development of the Global Fund QA Policy for Pharmaceutical Products 2007 For limited and single source*: - WHO PQ - SRA approved Or GMP site Or GMP site and submission to PQ * New definition of Single and limited source 2008/2009 For all ARVs, anti-TB, anti malarials: - WHO PQ or SRA approved Or - ERP recommended 2010 Interim exception for some live saving anti malarial and anti TB 2005 For limited and single source: - WHO PQ - SRA approved Or - GMP site Or - GMP site and submission to WHO PQ 2002 For limited and single source: - WHO PQ - SRA approved Or - GMP manufacturing site WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  8. QA Policy for Pharmaceutical Products (as of 2009) • Quality Criteria • For all products • Authorization for use in the recipient countries • For ARVs, anti-TB and anti-malarial products • WHO PQed or authorized by a SRA; • or • Recommended for use by an Expert Review Panel, • OnlyIf <2 WHO PQed or SRA authorized products available • Monitoring Quality • Monitoring quality of products all along the supply chain • Systematic random quality control testing • Recipients report testing results to Global Fund • Clinical Criteria • Medicines listed in WHO or national or institutional Standard Treatment Guidelines + + WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  9. The Expert Review Panel • A technical panel hosted by PQP • Coordinated by Head of PQ Assessment • Purposes: • To review the potential risks/benefits associated with the use of FPPs that are not yet WHO-prequalified or SRA-authorized. • To advise the Global Fund and GDF in its decision making WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  10. How ERP works • Review of product documentation: • at the request of the Global Fund/GDF, or • in response to GF/GDF invitation for EoI to submit dossiers. • A product is eligible for review by the ERP if: • Application to WHO Prequalification or application for marketing authorization to an SRA is accepted for assessment, and • Manufacturing site is GMP compliant (WHO/SRA/PICs) WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  11. How ERP works • ERP provides advice only, decision is made by the procurer • Time limited use (12 months) • Possibility of extending under certain circumstances • Not an alternative to PQ, but provides limited assurance of quality when there is no other option WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  12. Categorization of products reviewed by ERP • Products in Categories 1 and 2 can be considered, in principle, for time-limited procurement. • Products in Category 3 can be considered only if there is no other option and the risk of not treating the disease is considered to be higher than the risk of using the product • Products in Category 4 should not be considered for procurement under any circumstances. WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  13. Products reviewed by the Expert Review Panel since 2009 • Hosted by WHO at the request of the Board • Review the potential risks/benefits associated with the use of FPPs that are not yet WHO-prequalified or SRA-authorized and make recommendations to the Global Fund • 3 ERP set of reviews of dossiers based on an invitation for expression of interest to submit product dossiers • 98 product dossiers reviewed by ERP • 38 products permitted for use for a one year period WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010

  14. Monitoring Quality and Pricing The Price and Quality Reporting system for key health products: Element of the Market Dynamics Strategy • Make publicly available price and quality information • Transparency and accountability • Informed procurement decisions • demand forecasts • Monitor price and quality information • market conditions • Supplier performance • QA Policy compliance • Analyze procurement information for policy and decision-making purposes “Essential foundation of sound market dynamics and procurement practices” WHO Workshop on Prequalification of Medicines Programme, Abu Dhabi, 11-13 October, 2010
