🇯🇲 ValiPro: MoH&W, WHO GMP & Bioequivalence Validation Services for Jamaica
Secure Product Registration in Jamaica by Meeting the MoH&W's Scientific Assessment Requirements and Preparing for Fast-Track SRA Recognition.
ValiPro provides expert Process Validation Protocol and Report services specifically designed for manufacturers targeting the Jamaican market. Our documentation is built for full compliance with the standards enforced by the Pharmaceutical & Regulatory Affairs Department.
Key compliance pillars include:
Mandatory adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards from the country of origin.
Mandatory submission of Methods of Analysis and supporting data.
Mandatory submission of Bioequivalence (BE) Studies for most generic oral formulations.
🌟 Why MoH&W Validation is Crucial
Jamaica's registration process involves an in-depth scientific evaluation by the Product Registration Committee (PRC). The quality and completeness of the technical documentation are paramount, especially as the system moves towards recognizing high international standards.
Mandatory Bioequivalence (BE) Studies: For all generic oral formulations (tablets, capsules, and suspensions), a Bioequivalence Study conducted against the originator brand is mandatory. This study, which must involve a minimum group size of 12 subjects, is a critical regulatory hurdle for process-related quality assurance.
GMP Compliance: The dossier must include a Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CoPP) and a GMP Certificate from the country of manufacture. The validity of these certificates is supported by the manufacturer's internal quality systems and the underlying validation reports (aligned with WHO/ICH GMP principles).
Laboratory Control & Testing: The dossier requires the Method of Analysis and an Assay report on a recent batch. Furthermore, five samples of the drug and adequate amounts of appropriate chemical/biological reference standards are required. This facilitates potential testing by the Government Chemist. Robust Analytical Method Validation (AMV) reports are essential for demonstrating the suitability and reproducibility of these test methods.
Dossier Content: The technical documentation must include:
Details of the tests conducted to control the potency, purity, and stability.
Finished product specification and method of analysis.
Summary of Clinical Pharmacology, including Bioavailability/Bioequivalence studies.
Language & Legalization: All documents must be in the English Language and official documents (like the CoPP) must be authenticated by the Jamaican Embassy or Consulate.
🎯 Compliance Focus: Who We Support
We work with international manufacturers targeting the Jamaican market:
Generic Exporters: Specifically requiring Bioequivalence Study design support, review, and integration into the dossier (3.2.P.3.5 and 2.7.1).
Quality Control Preparation: Firms needing robust AMV reports and finished product specifications that can be readily audited and used by the Government Chemist if testing is required.
SRA Fast-Track Readiness: Companies preparing their dossiers to meet the quality standards of major SRAs (FDA, EMA) to leverage Jamaica's impending fast-track approval system.
