On September 16, 2024, the product Yorkool G5 LN long-lasting insecticidal net of Tianjin Yorkool International Trading Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yorkool") passed the prequalification assessment of vector control products by the World Health Organization (WHO) and was officially listed in the WHO Prequalification List (PQ List). This important achievement marks that Yorkool's technical strength and product quality in the field of global public health protection have been recognized by international authorities, taking a key step in helping the global malaria prevention and control cause.
According to the prequalification letter issued by the WHO Prequalification Unit (PQT-VCP) on September 16, 2024 (PQ Number: P-12507, Application Number: PQ-VCP-2024-0006), the Yorkool G5 LN long-lasting insecticidal net was confirmed to comply with the norms and standards for insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) recommended by WHO after a comprehensive assessment, and in principle, it can be procured by the United Nations and other international agencies and countries.
WHO pointed out in the assessment conclusion that the technical document review of the product and the certification status of the ISO 9001 quality management system of the production facilities both met the requirements. The passing of this certification is not only an affirmation of Yorkool's capabilities in the whole chain of product research and development, production quality control, etc., but also means that as China's first Dual-AI insecticidal net listed in the PQ List, Yorkool G5 LN long-lasting insecticidal net will have the opportunity to participate in the global public health procurement system, providing key protection support for malaria-prone areas such as Africa.
This successful entry into the PQ List not only lays a solid foundation for Yorkool to expand into the international market but also highlights the responsibility and commitment of Chinese enterprises in the field of global public health. In the future, Yorkool will continue to work closely with international organizations and health institutions of various countries, empower prevention and control with technology, and contribute more to the global goal of eliminating malaria.
