Introduction to Korean Medicine GMP facilities


The Good Manufacturing Practices Center (GMP) of the National Development Institute of Korean Medicine (NIKOM) is a project to establish public infrastructure that manufactures medicinal products on a consignment basis for clinical trials, aiming to verify the safety and efficacy of Korean Medicines. Currently, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is preparing to introduce the GMP certification system on solid and liquid dosage forms.

The Good Manufacturing Practices Center (GMP) located within the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Medical Cluster is expected to complete its construction by August 2019, with a scale of three stories and total floor area of 3,251㎡ at the cost of 9.5 billion KRW. The center will be comprised of Korean medicine manufacturing facilities, dosage form development laboratory, quality analysis laboratory, microorganism laboratory, etc.

In contrast to the rising social needs for the verification of safety and efficacy of Korean Medicine, research and manufacturing facilities for herbal medicine used for clinical trials are nonexistent. The Good Manufacturing Practices Center (GMP) is projected to actively support the manufacturing of low-usage, high-cost medicines and raw materials produced on a consignment bases in order to supply high quality medicines to pharmaceutical firms, universities and Korean Medicine hospitals. 

The Good Manufacturing Practices Center (GMP) is expected to relieve distrust on Korean Medicine by manufacturing and supplying high-quality medicine for clinical trials, by drawing up measures to develop dosage form and to control quality. It is also projected to secure the competitiveness of herbal medicine firms by producing medicines on a consignment basis and to contribute to the vitalization of the Korean Medicine industry. Continuous growth of the industry will be induced by raising professionals of Korean Medicine GMP, which will expand research infrastructure to industrialize Korean Medicine and create a basis for overseas expansion.
