Pharmaceutical plant announces expansion
PharmaProduct Manufacturing, Cambodia’s self-described first pharmaceutical plant, announced last week plans to expand into other ASEAN markets once the ASEAN Community frame-work is adopted in 2015. According to its online materials, the producer of the painkiller KINAL – among other medicines – opened its doors in 1996, and has since pushed into more than a dozen mostly Francophone African markets. If the regional push is successful, WHO communications officer Sonny Krishnan said the company could “definitely” have a positive impact on the availability and affordability of quality drugs.
