  6. QA Policy for Pharmaceutical Products • Since 2002, medicines WHO PQed and or SRA authorized be a priority with a step approach to increase the number of formulations concerned: • Single and limited source ARVs and antimalarials (TB medicines multisource) • More stringent definition of single and limited source • More stringent criteria for all ARVs, antimalarials and anti TB medicines • the Expert Review Panel mechanism Possibility of purchasing products authorized by an ERP on the basis of a risk/benefit assessment of products dossier not yet WHO PQed or SRA for a time-limited period (1 year)

  7. 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 Prequalified or authorized by a Stringent Regulatory Authority; • 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 • Require applicants/ recipients to provide justification for selection of unlisted products in one of the STGs + +

  12. Partnerships in Quality Assurance • Close collaboration with WHO PQ • Expert advice • QA Policy implementation: ERP management • WHO Disease Programs: HIV, Malaria, TB • Collaboration/information sharing with other donors and suppliers, such as UNICEF, UNDP • Working toward policy harmonization with partners eg.
