The guide is issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) detailing the prequalification process for vector control products. The primary objective of this prequalification system is to ensure that vector control products meet global standards of quality, safety, and efficacy.
The guide outlines the procedures and requirements for manufacturers to have their products prequalified by WHO. This prequalification is crucial for products that are intended for procurement by UN agencies or for those recommended by WHO for use in member states. The document covers a range of vector control products, including long-lasting insecticidal nets, indoor residual sprays, and larvicides.
Manufacturers seeking prequalification must submit a comprehensive dossier detailing product specifications, manufacturing processes, quality control measures, and data from clinical trials. WHO then assesses this information, conducts site inspections, and may require further laboratory testing. Products that successfully pass this rigorous evaluation process are listed on the WHO List of Prequalified Vector Control Products.
The guide emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and re-evaluation of prequalified products to ensure they remain effective against vectors and safe for use. This system plays a pivotal role in global efforts to combat vector-borne diseases by ensuring access to high-quality vector control products.
