WHO Public Reports for MCDs
Male Circumcision Devices (MCDs) that are prequalified by WHO undergo a comprehensive assessment process. For each prequalified MCD, two key documents are published: the WHO Public Assessment Report (WHOPAR) and the WHO Public Inspection Report (WHOPIR). These reports provide transparent information on the outcomes of the product dossier review, including clinical evidence, manufacturing site inspection, and labelling review.
For MCDs prequalified before 2025, a single combined report captures all assessment components. These outputs enhance transparency and support informed decision-making by procurement agencies and national regulatory authorities.”
