Key discussion topics on the day included the global harmonisation of regulations as well as looking at how companies adapt to a variety of international regulations and inspection readiness.
Dr. K Bangarurajan, Deputy Drugs Controller of the CDSCO West presented the keynote speech at the meeting and commented: ‘I am glad to be a part of the inaugural meet of pvindia. At times when Indian companies, like their colleagues in the US and EU, are frequented by Inspectors of internal Health Authorities, there exists significant strain on any organisation. Being prepared for any inspection is a priority for the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry in such scenarios. pvindia will help companies to prepare for inspections triggered by these regulations.’
