Introduction:
MANUFACTURING FORWARD – DRIVING PERFORMANCE, FOSTERING COLLABORATION, AND CATALYSING TRANSFORMATION
In alignment with the overarching theme of the FIP World Congress 2025, “Pharmacy Forward: Performance, Collaboration, and Health Transformation,” this workshop on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) will explore the critical role GMP plays in shaping the future of pharmacy and healthcare systems. As healthcare systems worldwide strive for sustainability, efficiency, and personalization, GMP stands at the forefront of ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance in the production of pharmaceuticals. Through the lens of the congress subthemes, this workshop will delve into how GMP can contribute to sustainable practices, enhance system performance, and support the delivery of personalised, patient-centered care.
Attendees will gain insights into the evolving landscape of GMP, its intersection with emerging technologies like digital health, and its vital role in advancing global health outcomes.
