Pharmaceutical Companies Told to Meet Global Standards

Thai pharmaceutical companies were told by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop their products in order to meet international quality standards in a bid to boost the nation's competitiveness in the international pharmaceuticals market. FDA secretary-general Prof. Dr. Pakdee Pothisiri, who opened a conference on good manufacturing practices (GMP) in pharmaceutical production, said that Thailand could only gain an edge in a highly competitive global market if it introduces modern technology and meets GMP standards.
