The announcement follows the WHO prequalification of Getz Pharma\u2019s first manufacturing facility in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Khalid Mahmood said the company, which is Pakistan\u2019s largest pharmaceutical firm, had demonstrated that locally manufactured medicines could meet international quality requirements and compete in demanding overseas markets.<\/p>\n<p>He said the latest recognition was not merely an achievement for the company but also for Pakistan, its healthcare professionals and millions of patients who depended on safe, effective and affordable medicines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPakistan has the talent, expertise and industrial capacity to manufacture medicines that meet international standards,\u201d Khalid Mahmood said, adding that greater international acceptance of Pakistani pharmaceutical products could strengthen the country\u2019s image as a reliable manufacturing destination.<\/p>\n<p>Khalid Mahmood said WHO prequalification was important because an international regulatory body was endorsing the company\u2019s quality control, manufacturing processes, good manufacturing practices, quality assurance systems and safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Managing Director Zeeshan Ahmed described the development as an important achievement, saying continued investment in modern manufacturing technology, quality assurance systems and skilled professionals was essential for improving Pakistan\u2019s competitiveness in the global pharmaceutical market.<\/p>\n<p>Bariatric surgeon Dr Fahad Mirza and members of the Pakistan Aesthetic Surgery Society congratulated the company\u2019s leadership, saying such achievements could boost confidence in locally manufactured medicines.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p>
