Pharma Powerhouse: SMS Pharmaceuticals’ Vizag Unit Achieves WHO Prequalification Milestone

SMS Pharmaceuticals Ltd has made a notable achievement with its Vizag (Visakhapatnam) manufacturing unit attaining the highly sought-after WHO Geneva Prequalification approval. The accreditation is a milestone achievement for the company, reinforcing its commitment to international standards of quality and building its image as a reliable supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished products.

 

The WHO Prequalification is a stringently vetted evaluation that confirms pharmaceutical plants meet global standards for quality, safety, and efficacy. With this approval, SMS Pharma's Vizag plant is now in a position to supply drugs of essential care to international health agencies and bid in global tenders, most specifically those organized by the United Nations and other health organizations. This creates significant new business opportunities for the company in regulated and emerging markets, reinforcing its strategy of broadening its international presence.

 

The Vizag plant, which is already known for meeting EU GMP and other international standards, can now further ride on this stamp of approval to increase exports and support public health programs globally. The company's leadership welcomed the approval as a reflection of its employees' hard work and technical expertise, which reflects SMS Pharma's continued pursuit of excellence in pharma manufacturing.
