QUALITY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Intro – What is QCP?
QUAMED has developed the Quality Certification Program (QCP). Through the QCP we are offering wholesalers and manufacturers an opportunity to apply for a QUAMED QCP Certification for GSDP, GMP or MQAS standards.
Our QCP uses the technical criteria and standards as a set and defined by the WHO to assess the pharmaceutical quality systems of wholesalers and manufacturers.
Our QCP certification will reward a wholesaler’s commitment to meet WHO standards and contribute to positively shaping the market to favour quality medicines. Importantly, we anticipate that wholesalers and manufacturers benefiting from a formal QUAMED QCP certification will be more likely to gain access to be selected by quality-minded purchasers.

ECHO has prequalified a number of wholesalers that can supply Pharmaceutical products, Medical supplies, Food, Medical devices and equipment, Water & Sanitation and other products. They are called Humanitarian Procurement Centres (”HPC”). They are not-for-profit organisations specialised in the technical and commercial management of supplies and services necessary for the implementation of humanitarian actions. They can provide technical assistance in procurement or supply pre-established stocks, purchasing, or logistics capacity.
