YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, ARMENPRESS: The product of Armenian medicine
companies does not concede to the one imported from abroad, Director of
"GXP" Center of Excellence Aram Ghazaryan told Armenpress. He noted
that the medicine of Armenian production is more available than that

and other peculiarities". The row material of our national product
is imported from abroad, the industrial process is only realized in
Armenia," Mr. Ghazaryan noted.
According to Aram Ghazaryan, there is a free economic competition
in the market of medicine, as that sphere is still in a round of
consolidation. "In the initial round our main goal was competitiveness
increase, which would enable to enter new markets. We did not have
a state accepted standard for proper industrial activity, that is we
could not have body which would take control over us and would give
a corresponding certificate," he said, adding that now the situation
is other, and the medicine of Armenian production is exported to
CIS countries.
According to the Director of "GXP" Center of Excellence, there are
numerous issues in the sphere of pharmacy which must be solved round
by round. "Currently we will carry out works to improve the situation.
Connected with the import of the medicine, we intend to introduce the
standard of proper delivery activity, and at the moment there is an
agreement with RA Ministries of Healthcare, Economy and Justice,"
