Background

In Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest consumer market, and Vietnam, a country which has seen a significant rise in rates of health insurance coverage, the pharmaceutical industry continues to grow apace. However, both countries are highly dependent on imported pharmaceutical products. While this provides valuable opportunities for drug importers, increasing regulatory requirements have made this process challenging.

In this webinar, Irene Djalim, Manager of Regulatory Affairs at Tilleke & Gibbins Indonesia, and Hien Thi Thu Vu, Head of Regulatory Affairs at Tilleke & Gibbins Vietnam, will provide an overview of the regulatory framework for the importation of pharmaceutical products in these two countries, including the requirements for obtaining marketing authorization.
