Sri Lanka Pharma Week will address the industry's burning
issues: Bioavailability and Bioequivalence requirements, Pharma
Sales Force Effectiveness and Automation, and finishing on the
topic of Pharma Supply Chain and Distribution. Industry experts
will provide their understanding of the given topics on display,
while demonstrating relevant procedures through case studies and
speeches to delegates. Here's a quick insight on what the speakers
at this event have to say about these issues in Sri Lanka
Mr K ShivKumar, Managing Director, Eisai
Pharmaceuticals India, talks about the SFE and SFA in
pharmaceutical business, "SFE will be the key in exploiting the
expanding SL market. SFE will help in targeting the right customers
by the sales force by answering the key questions like - which
markets, which target audience, why and how, how often and with the
right message. SFE will decide who will be the winners and
losers"
Mr Himanshu Saxena, Vice
President Supply Chain International Business, Alembic
Pharmaceuticals says "Supply chain and distribution is the most
critical aspect of the pharmaceutical business to ensure that drugs
are delivered to the end patient quickly and in safe conditions".
He adds that "Even if the manufacturing and production of drugs is
done using GMP norms, the products remain unfit for consumption if
the safety of the drugs is compromised en route to the end patient
and since the pharmaceutical organisations in Sri Lanka are custodians of the products, it
is imperative that they ensure efficient distribution network so
that the patients can consume quality drugs and in time." When
asked about his views on the Sri
Lanka pharma week, here's what he had to say "Emerging
countries like Sri Lanka can draw
learnings on novel strategies adopted by countries like
India who have passed this stage
and are still successfully dealing with similar infrastructure
issues in some of the states. At this forum, the Indian pharma
supply chain experts would be discussing practical implementable
technologies to manage the supply chain to maintain adequate stocks
and manage demand cycles. This would eventually reduce the pressure
on the business and ensure that the sales are not affected."
Bansri Shah, Managing
Director, UBM (CPhI) says "We are grateful to Mr. Shalutha and
the Pharmaceutical Society of Sri
Lanka for their help and support towards the development of
'Sri Lanka Pharma Week'.
"It also gives me immense pleasure to bring our largest brand
CPhI to the rapidly growing industry in Sri Lanka and we would like to extend a warm
invitation to the pharmaceutical fraternity to participate in this
knowledge sharing."
