WHO Prequalification FPP Reference Number Portfolio Status Event Monitor

Watch a book of WHO Prequalification Reference Numbers (Finished Pharmaceutical Products / Biotherapeutic Products) and emit typed status events when a product appears, drops, or changes Basis of Listing / Product Type / Therapeutic Area / Applicant / product name / dosage form / alternative basis / Date of Prequalification on the official WHO PQ CSV export.

Source

• Official CSV export: Finished Pharmaceutical Products export (~653 unique WHO Reference Numbers; ~130 KB)
• Browse UI: WHO PQ FPP list
• Durable key: WHO Reference Number (e.g. BT-ON013, AP001, ANDA 077267 USFDA)
• Status field: Basis of Listing (Prequalification - Full / Prequalification - Abridged / Alternative Listing / …)
• Also tracked: Product Type, Therapeutic Area, Applicant, INN/strength, Dosage Form, Basis of alternative listing, Date of Prequalification
• Honest lag — WHO’s Drupal CSV is a live export without a reliable Last-Modified header. Updates are irregular as products are prequalified or removed. Schedule this Actor weekly–monthly. DROPPED means the reference is absent from the current export, not a formal WHO delisting notice with an effective date. This is a snapshot-diff monitor, not a real-time WHO PQ API.
