🇪🇹 ValiPro: EFDA & WHO GMP Process Validation Services
Achieve Compliance and Secure Product Registration with the Ethiopian Food and Drug Authority (EFDA).
ValiPro provides expert Process Validation Protocol and Report services tailored for manufacturers targeting the significant Ethiopian market. Our documentation is built for full compliance with the rigorous standards of the Ethiopian Food and Drug Authority (EFDA), the central regulatory body, which adopts and enforces the principles of WHO Good Manufacturing Practices (WHO GMP) Guidelines.
We specialize in supporting manufacturers of human and veterinary medicines, APIs, and medical devices, ensuring their validation packages secure timely EFDA approvals, minimize review deficiencies, and support the mandatory GMP assessment for foreign sites.
🌟 Why EFDA-Ready Validation is Crucial
The EFDA regulates all aspects of the drug lifecycle in Ethiopia. Compliance with their standards is mandatory for both local and imported products, and they strictly adhere to globally recognized quality benchmarks.
WHO GMP Mandate: The EFDA enforces GMP standards that closely follow the WHO Technical Report Series (TRS). Your process validation must conform precisely to these detailed international standards (e.g., WHO TRS Annex 3).
Dossier Requirement: Product registration requires the submission of a comprehensive dossier. Validation reports for critical processes (manufacturing, cleaning, analytical methods) are a crucial part of the Quality Module reviewed by the EFDA.
GMP Assessment: Foreign manufacturing sites must possess a valid GMP certificate recognized by the EFDA, often necessitating an inspection or desk review. Our robust, internationally-aligned validation documentation is essential evidence for demonstrating a state of control.
🎯 EFDA Compliance Focus: Who We Support
We work closely with manufacturers and their local agents in Ethiopia who need:
Pharmaceutical Exporters: Targeting human and veterinary drug registration with the EFDA.
GMP Conformance: Overseas facilities seeking EFDA GMP Certification (based on WHO GMP).
Dossier Quality: Preparation of the Quality Module ensuring that all manufacturing and control data, including validation, meets EFDA expectations.
Regulatory Responses: Firms addressing technical deficiencies or quality queries issued by EFDA assessors regarding manufacturing process controls and capability.
