Strengthening Vaccine Manufacturing: Announcing the Fifth Virtual cGMP Training Marathon - Institutionalizing Compliance and Continued Improvement [1]

[]

Date: 2024-09-10

The World Health Organization's Local Production & Assistance Unit (LPA), with support from key stakeholders, is pleased to announce the upcoming fifth “Virtual cGMP Training Marathon for Vaccine Manufacturing: Institutionalizing Compliance and Continued Improvement.” This annual event aims to bolster the capacities of Member States in producing quality-assured vaccines, ensuring equitable and timely access, and fortifying health security worldwide.

Background

Access to quality-assured vaccines is a cornerstone of effective health systems and national immunization programs. However, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face significant challenges in this area, often relying on imports that can be inconsistent. Strengthening local production capabilities is essential to overcoming these challenges.

Since 2020, the WHO LPA Unit has successfully conducted four Virtual cGMP Training Marathons, enhancing knowledge and preparedness among vaccine manufacturers globally. This year's marathon, themed “Institutionalizing Compliance and Continued Improvement,” will build on previous years’ successes by focusing on sustaining GMP compliance and fostering a culture of continuous quality improvement.

Objectives

The 2024 training aims to support LMICs in strengthening their local vaccine manufacturing capabilities. By providing in-depth knowledge on current GMP standards, regulatory updates, and technological advancements, the training seeks to empower manufacturers and regulators to meet and exceed international quality benchmarks.
