FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE IN DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN DRUG PRODUCTION

Business Breakfast
Congress Centre, Business Breakfast Hall 2

In recent years, Russia has charted a clear course for domestic pharmaceutical production, targeting an almost doubling of in-country production with the aim of reaching 50% by 2020. At the same time, there are plans to bring the legal framework for the drug market in line with international standards. How is this policy being implemented, and how might it impact both foreign and domestic producers over the coming years? What main problems are being encountered by the sector and what should be done to overcome these issues? What steps need to be taken to ensure that Russian patients have uninterrupted access to quality medicines?

It is necessary to develop our national competences for creating our own innovative medicines.
Sergey Tsyb
There must be an equal playing field for absolutely all companies, equal terms for the medicines to access the market and equal terms of regulatory procedures.
Sergey Tsyb
The question is not where to manufacture but where to develop, where the center of competence is located. Today’s Russia has ample potential for such developments.
