About the content
The pharmaceutical industry is a vital and responsible sector, as it deals directly with the health and well-being of the population. As their activities involve risks to public health, the pharmaceutical industry is subject to several regulations and standards, both national and international, which establish requirements and good practices for the manufacturing, storage, distribution and quality control of pharmaceutical products.
Thus, ensuring the effectiveness, quality and conformity of processes is essential. One of the essential tools for achieving these objectives is internal auditing. This practice aims to analyze, in detail, all stages of the production cycle, from research and development to the distribution of medicines, to verify their compliance with applicable regulations and good practices, identify and correct possible non-conformities, improve the quality of products and processes and preventing potential risks and problems.
In this article, Daiane Figueiredo Loeffler explores the main steps of an effective internal audit in the pharmaceutical industry, highlighting the importance of each step and providing practical guidance for implementation.
