Good Distribution Practices (GDP) Audit: Basic Concept and Benefits
Good Distribution practices (GDP) are the European pointers that describe the minimal requirements that a distributor must meet to make sure that the high-quality and integrity of drug treatments and different healthcare products is maintained during the deliver chain. As GDP governs the protection of healthcare merchandise during the delivery chain, all businesses involved in the manufacture, supply, and shipping of pharmaceutics and medical devices ought to be GDP compliant. This includes pharma and med tech corporations, but also groups responsible for logistics and transportation
Pharmaceuticals or medicines remain integral in society as they help improve people’s health, prevent diseases, and save lives. Therefore, as they move through the supply chain, stakeholders such as the distributors must affirm that the minimum standards that affirm the quality and integrity of the medicines are realized and maintained. In other words, good distribution practices or (GDP) must be maintained. GDP encompasses the standards put in place to certify proper sourcing, handling, storage, and distribution of medicines and their active ingredients. GDP audit can be termed as the facet of scrutinizing the medicines distribution companies and stakeholders to assess whether there is complete compliance with GDP guidelines. The auditing specifically entails checking for quality agreements, proper documentation, shipping route validation, which covers security, risk management, and vehicle qualification, and finally, proper storage and handling of medication, which also covers the issue of the cold chain. The auditing also focuses on medication sourcing, where the suppliers must be audited to ensure that they produce quality medicines that are safe for consumption after moving through the supply chain.
One of the primary benefits of a GDP audit is that it ensures that the end consumers and, in this case, patients do not consume inferior medicine or medicines from suppliers who do not meet the quality standards. Thus, the audits certify that no falsified medication can enter the supply chain. Also, GDP auding help in scraping out the rogue distributors who barely consider medication security and safety during transit. They specifically ensure that the drugs during transportation are ferried in the right vehicles that meet the capacity to provide the ambient temperature. This is beneficial since it ensures medicines obtained from quality or qualified suppliers can reach the end user while still intact and in the right condition for use. Also, GDP auditing ascertains that medicines are not adultered once they get to the supply chain; for instance, they are not mishandled during storage. Besides the audit, ensure that all stakeholders in the medicine supply chain are licensed. All these safety and quality auditing are done to ensure end users get quality and safe medication.
