In the pharmaceutical industry, Quality Assurance (QA) embodies a structured and comprehensive strategy to guarantee that pharmaceutical products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards required for their intended use. Focused on reducing risks that cannot be eliminated solely through testing the final product, QA integrates quality control, management, and enhancement practices across the product’s lifecycle, including development, manufacturing, distribution, and post-market oversight. Its primary aim is to avert defects, deviations, and errors within the manufacturing process, ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of pharmaceuticals for end users. QA’s critical function is confirming that products are suitable for their intended purpose.
