Many low- and middle-income countries’ (LMICs) need for quality-assured vaccines is dependent on importation and are at risk of a lack of consistent supply of such products. It is recognized that local production is one of the strategies to improve timely access to quality-assured vaccine supplies, curb shortages and stock-out and safeguard health security.
Following the successful Virtual cGMP Training Marathon in 2020 and 2021, WHO Local Production and Assistance Unit (LPA) is organizing a third edition, called Virtual cGMP Advanced Training Marathon for Vaccine Manufacturing: Sustaining a GMP-compliant Environment, in respect to Member States' requests for advanced capacity building to address challenges and improve compliance to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and regulatory requirements.
From the 8th of November to 1st of December 2022, Part 1 will take place and two topics will be delivered each week to provide in-depth content focusing on advanced concepts of selected GMP topics, technology transfer and facility design for vaccine manufacturing. On the 6th, 7th and 8th of December 2022, Part 2 is intended to fortify the training by applying pre-selected Quality Risk Management (QRM) tools to tackle real-life GMP scenarios through hands-on group work.
To register your interest to participate to either Part 1 only or to Part 1 and 2, click here: Virtual cGMP Training Marathon for Vaccine Manufacturing - registration of interest (Deadline on 2nd of November 2022). All registrations of interest will be reviewed and only selected registrants will receive a link for participation. For more details, please refer to the flyer and to the event description.
