Dear members,
The Pharmaceutical working group is delighted to invite you to attend the next working group meeting, which is scheduled on Tuesday 17th November 2020 at 9:00-10:30am in the Chamber’s Beijing and Shanghai offices via videoconference facility.
On 30th September, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) issued the Administrative Measures for Record-filing of Medical Representative (Trial). The Measure will be effective on 1st December 2020. According to the Measures, medical representatives shall perform the main work tasks in four aspects including drawing up plans and schemes for the promotion of pharmaceutical products, and may carry out academic promotions in such forms as “communication with medical staff and pharmaceutical staff in person in medical institutions”. The Measures also clarify the responsibilities of drug marketing authorization holders (MAHs) for the record-filing and management of medical representatives.
The Measures have created compliance challenges for foreign pharmaceutical companies in particular. In order for the European pharmaceutical companies to better prepare for the challenges ahead, the Pharmaceutical working group is organizing an internal discussion on this topic. Compliance officers and in-house counsels are welcome to join the discussion and share their insights.
