Abstract

Quality assurance (QA) plays a pivotal role in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process to ensure that the final product meets the safety, efficacy, and regulatory standards. QA encompasses a range of practices including process validation, documentation, training, and risk assessment. With rising global regulatory requirements and advancements in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), pharmaceutical companies must integrate robust QA systems to avoid product recalls, contamination, and non-compliance issues. This paper explores the essential elements of QA in pharmaceutical manufacturing, focusing on regulatory frameworks, documentation protocols, risk-based approaches, and continuous improvement practices to maintain product integrity and patient safety.
