Introduction to Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practice

Given the necessity of scaling manufacturing of existing products and developing more specialised, patient-centric drugs, the pharmaceutical industry is expanding into new markets. This market shift highlights the requirement to set up new, owned manufacturing sites or set up new contract manufacturing relationships. Therefore, the industry must ensure in parallel that individuals are upskilled to the GMP principles – it is paramount now more than ever.
