🇨🇺 ValiPro: CECMED, WHO GMP & Biosimilar Validation Services for Cuba

Achieve Compliance and Secure Product Registration in Cuba by Aligning with CECMED's International Quality Standards and Specific Biologics/Biosimilars Requirements.

ValiPro provides expert Process Validation Protocol and Report services specifically designed for manufacturers targeting the Cuban market. Our documentation is built for full compliance with the rigorous standards enforced by CECMED.

Key compliance pillars include:

• Mandatory adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines, which are largely based on WHO standards and specific CECMED regulations.

• The registration dossier must include comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) documentation and detailed validation data.

• A strong emphasis on the scientific evaluation of biologics, biosimilars, and novel products developed by Cuba's advanced biotech sector.

🌟 Why CECMED Validation is Crucial

CECMED's regulatory approach is highly technical and science-based, particularly for biological products.

• WHO-Aligned GMP: CECMED enforces its own set of detailed Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Regulations, which are closely aligned with WHO guidelines and international best practices (like PIC/S). Manufacturers must demonstrate robust validation of all critical processes, including sterilization, cleaning, and manufacturing processes, supported by documentation.

• Validation Requirements: Cuban regulations require documentation of validation, qualification, and control processes. Specifically:

  • Process Validation: Documentation proving that the manufacturing process is capable of consistently producing a finished product of the required quality. This often requires data from three consecutive production batches and aligns with international principles (like those found in ASEAN or FDA guidelines) that emphasize the stability and control of the process.

  • Analytical Validation: All analytical methods used for Quality Control must be fully validated. CECMED uses its National Control Laboratory for testing and verification, making robust analytical validation documentation (aligned with standards like ICH Q2(R1)) critical for successful registration.

  • Equipment and Utilities Qualification: All important equipment and critical support processes (like sterilization) must be qualified and validated.

• Biosimilar/Biologic Expertise: For biological products, CECMED has specific regulations (Regulation No. 42-2011 for Biologics) that require detailed comparative quality and non-clinical data, necessitating extremely thorough process and method validation to demonstrate product comparability.

• Documentation in Spanish: All submissions, including the technical documentation, must be provided in Spanish or be accompanied by an official translation.

🎯 Compliance Focus: Who We Support

We work with international manufacturers targeting the Cuban market:

• Pharmaceutical Exporters: Targeting human and veterinary drug registration.

• Biotech and Biologics: Companies requiring specialized validation support to meet CECMED's high standards for complex products like vaccines and biosimilars.

• GMP/Quality Compliance: Foreign facilities needing validation documentation that is fully aligned with CECMED's adopted GMP standards to support their application and potential audit.

• Documentation Translation/Adaptation: Companies requiring accurate translation of technical validation summaries into Spanish for the dossier.
