You may see WHO-GMP on medicine packs. Here is a simple explanation of what it refers to.
What WHO-GMP means
- GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice.
- It describes quality and hygiene standards for how medicines are made and checked.
- Certification is issued after an inspection by the relevant authority.
- It is about how a medicine is made, not a guarantee of what it will do for you.
How to check a claim
Ask the company for its certificate, and check the name, product scope and validity date. A genuine manufacturer will share this. You can find our details on our About page.
