The Hong Kong Association
of the Pharmaceutical Industry was
formed in 1968. Currently we have 38 full members
which are all international companies engaged
in the research and development of pharmaceuticals
including the world's top 20. Our member companies
provide over 70% of the prescription medicines
in Hong Kong.
The Association was formed to provide maximum
information on all matters relating to the Hong
Kong pharmaceutical market, to its members. Another
major role of the Association is to improve the
relationship between our member companies and
the government, all healthcare related societies
and the community. We also provide suggestions
on healthcare policies to improve the overall
well being of Hong Kong people.
The Association has actively
participated in events of the health community and
presented its views to the public on different health
issues such as "Healthcare Financing", "Drug
Policy", "Undesirable Medical Advertisements
Ordinance Amendment Bill", and Code of Practice
of the Broadcasting Authority on Pharmaceutical Products. |
