Assessment of current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) compliance in pharmaceutical manufacturers in Ethiopia: Cross-sectional descriptive study

This study evaluated GMP compliance levels across six pharmaceutical manufacturers in Ethiopia. Most of the assessed companies showed a satisfactory degree of GMP compliance. To improve compliance, minimize risks, and ensure product quality, safety, and operational efficiency, the study suggested strengthening risk mitigation measures such as raising employees' knowledge and training.
