The first standard on Goodmanufacturing practice was adopted in 2005 and during these 9 years the Good manufacturing practicestandard was upgraded twice in 2011 and 2014, and the latest version reached to WHO GMP guidelinelevel.Purpose of the studyAccording to the Law of Medicine and medical devices of Mongolia, all pharmaceutical manufacturersshould comply with the Good manufacturing practice standard MNS 5524:2014. The study was aimedto asses GMP implementation level among local pharmaceutical manufacturers and to define mostlyobserved deficiencies in three categories as “critical”, “major” and “minor”.Materials and MethodAll stable operating pharmaceutical manufacturers were asked to be involved in this study accordingto the Helsinki declaration and 11 of them were involved. Direct observation method was used for thisstudy. WHO guideline on Good manufacturing practice: Main principles and on Sterile products wasused as the criteria of the assessment.ResultsAll deficiencies observed during the study were classified into three groups as critical, major and minorand the frequency was defined.Conclusions:The critical deficiencies are related mainly with the design and general layout of the premises and heatingventilation and air conditioning system. It requires investment and proper planning from the manufacturers.The major deficiencies are mainly related to documentation, qualification and validation.The minor deficiencies are with regard of documentation system, technical requirements of equipmentand storage area condition and its management.For taking corrective actions of major and minor deficiencies do not require investment, but it requirestime, training, implementation, monitoring and continuous improvement from the manufacturer.
