About our European Standards Medicines Sector Committee
The European Standards Medicines Sector Committee, formerly known as International Quality Medicines (IQMED) – Generic & Biosimilar, was established in October 2016 under EuroCham’s Healthcare Forum. This Sector Committee has created a forum where business professionals from interest-shared industries can discuss issues and solutions to provide affordable, high-quality, and sustainable supply sources for branded generic drugs.
The activities we carry out are driven by a shared mission, focused on:
- Delivering affordable, high-quality, sustainable branded generic medicine and services to Vietnamese people;
- Collaboration with key stakeholders such as the government, providers, and payers in Vietnam to build efficient legal frameworks and implementation platforms.
