FAQ
M

All members of staff working on medicines prequalification are bound by confidentiality agreements. Likewise, in accordance with the terms contained in an agreement which they are requested to sign, appointed experts (assessors, inspectors and technical assistance providers) commit to treating all information to which they have access during product dossier assessment, or site inspection, or provision of technical assistance, as strictly confidential, and proprietary to WHO, or to parties collaborating with WHO.
