The document discusses the importance of good manufacturing practices (GMP) in ensuring drug quality and safety. It emphasizes that GMP provides documentation, traceability, trust, and predictability to assure the identity, quality, strength and correct manufacturing of drugs. While testing can verify quality, building quality into the manufacturing process through adherence to GMP is even more important. Ongoing monitoring processes like surveillance, complaint handling and recalls are also needed to protect patients even after a batch passes testing. Non-compliance with GMP can lead to disasters like mix-ups and contamination that endanger public health.
