ISPE Convenes Regulators and Industry to Discuss Challenges & Solutions for Quality Risk Management

06 May, 2021

ISPE will convene regulators and industry leaders from around the world at the 2021 ISPE Global Pharmaceutical Regulatory Summit on 16 June and at the 2021 ISPE Asia Pacific Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Conference on 17–18 June 2021. Taking place virtually, these events focus on the sustainable implementation of and shared responsibility for quality risk management and will provide a collaborative environment that encourages sharing lessons learned and maintaining transparency among regulators and industry.

The global pandemic has impacted all operations, no matter the size or manufacturing capabilities. As companies in the Asia Pacific region and around the world adapt to changing regulatory processes, contend with remote and limited inspections, and manage increasing demands on CMOs, effective quality risk assessment and risk mitigation have become exponentially more significant. These events require a visionary approach in assessing the challenges facing pharmaceutical operations on a global basis specifically for those that are critical to the supply of essential medicines such as in the Asia Pacific region, amid unpredictable times.

Collaboration and communication are a crucial element in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on pharmaceutical operations.
