Need for third party manufacturing
pakobserver | May 02, 2017
Pakistani drug manufacturers are not allowed Third Party Contracts — a facility which gives India and Bangladesh a clear edge over Pakistan. It is high time that the current legislation which restricts contract manufacturing of medicines for export be revised. The government should allow Contract Manufacturing to help local manufacturers reach efficient scales and become more competitive. With Third Party Contract manufacturing, Pakistan can achieve more industrialization since a large number of companies will then offer to produce drugs on behalf of the established brands.
