KARACHI: Pakistan’s Getz Pharma secured World Health Organization (WHO) prequalification for its Astola manufacturing facility on November 2, 2026, becoming the company’s second production site to receive international recognition, its executive chairman Khalid Mahmood announced on Saturday night.

Addressing hundreds of physicians, surgeons and healthcare professionals gathered at the company’s Astola facility, Khalid Mahmood described the achievement as a major milestone for Pakistan’s pharmaceutical industry, saying it would strengthen international confidence in Pakistani medicines and create new opportunities for exports.

The announcement follows the earlier WHO prequalification of the company’s first manufacturing facility, which was prequalified in 2017.

Khalid Mahmood said Getz Pharma, which is Pakistan’s largest pharmaceutical company, had demonstrated that locally manufactured medicines could meet international quality requirements and compete in demanding overseas markets.
