Pharmaceutical quality is a must! We all know that, in the pharmaceutical world, we have three fundamental pillars: quality (outlined in the GMP guidelines), safety (which refers to GLP), and efficacy (based on GCP).

Every year the FDA prepares a report about pharmaceutical quality, outlining major changes in the manufacturing scenario, and key findings from their inspections performed both in the USA and abroad.

Figure 1 of the report includes a snapshot of changes made to the world of drug manufacturing.
