Creating A Culture Of "Quality Beyond Compliance"

By Anelis Aurand-Araos, Director of Scientific Affairs and Chief Compliance Officer, WellSpring

If your job is to develop and produce medicines to prevent disease and mitigate suffering around the world, quality is the guiding principle of your business model.

Recently, Anelis Aurand-Araos, our chief compliance officer, studied this issue and presented her thoughts and recommendations to our leadership team. Because quality control is an issue that affects more than just our industry — I’m thinking of the outbreaks of E coli and norovirus recently devastating Chipotle restaurants in the U.S. — we thought that sharing some of her insights would be especially valuable.
