THREE ARMENIAN PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES TO APPLY FOR GMP CERTIFICATES
YEREVAN, October 9. / ARKA /. Three Armenian pharmaceutical companies
are going to apply to the ministry of health very soon to obtain Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificates, the ministry said in a
response to an ARKA inquiry.
Speaking at a news conference earlier today, Vigen Topuzyan, the
director of the Scientific and Technological Center of Organic and
Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of
Armenia, claimed that major Armenian medicine- producing companies
do not have GMP certificates, however, they continue to work, while
the Scientific and Technological Center of Organic and Pharmaceutical
Chemistry was banned form drug production.
The ministry told ARKA that the government is expected to approve a
procedure for monitoring the compliance of pharmaceutical companies
with GMP regulations and issuance of certificates. It said once the
document enters into force three Armenian companies will appeal to
the ministry to obtain corresponding certificates; however, it did
not reveal the names of these companies.
The ministry said also GMP standards were approved by the government
of Armenia in 2010 and harmonized with European standards. Currently,
there are six major pharmaceutical companies in Armenia.
According to the National Statistical Service of Armenia, production
of pharmaceutical products in January- August 2013 amounted to 3.315.3
billion drams, a 37 percent growth year-on-year. -0- - See more at:
