WHO: China's State Food and Drug Administration investigated Changchun Changsheng quickly and transparently
The World Health Organization issued a media statement on the Changchun Changsheng rabies vaccine incident on July 25, stating that it fully supports China's National Drug Administration (NDA) in detaining problematic batches of rabies vaccines so that they cannot enter the market, and is ready to report to China at any time.National health authorities provide support.
According to The Paper, the WHO commended China's State Food and Drug Administration for taking swift and transparent action to halt production at Changchun Changsheng and launch an investigation into the incident.It is reported that the WHO has conducted two assessments on China's National Drug Administration in 2010 and 2014.The results show that NDAs meet WHO's standards for a fully functioning regulatory agency, with a clear commitment to continued improvement.
The WHO said it welcomed China's NMPA to continue its collaboration with WHO on strengthening national regulatory authorities, which has been going on for nearly 20 years.This incident is undoubtedly regrettable, but this incident was discovered by unannounced inspections, which also shows that the system supervision and on-site inspections of regulatory agencies can effectively protect people's health.
