Regulation and Prequalification
Progress towards enhancing regulatory practices related to medical products around the world is supported by capacity building, promoting regulatory convergence and harmonization.
ePQS –Electronic Prequalification System
The ePQS, developed by WHO, is a comprehensive platform for processing pre-qualification information across various healthcare products. Set to open its portal to manufacturers and external users in 2024, ePQS aim to streamline the application process, enhance transparency, and boost efficiency. It integrates vital aspects of WHO's Pre-Qualification Unit, providing a centralized database, a Document Management System (DMS), a repository for product dossiers, and a community portal.
ePQS simplifies application submission and management, enhances reporting capabilities, and enables real-time monitoring of application statuses. Moreover, it facilitates the submission of electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) dossiers, improving document organization and review efficiency
