On November 27, 2024, was held meeting between the AEC management team with visited our contry Tribe Robert Wayne, who has worked as a consultant on regulatory issues in the Asia-Pacific region of the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) for 18 years and also an advisor to Regulatory Authorities on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) at the Analytical Expertise Center of the Ministry of Health.
During the meeting were discussed issues about establishing effective and constructive cooperation between Azerbaijan and the global PIC/S regulatory community, developing a roadmap to achieve compliance with PIC/S requirements, technical support and guiding the process of Azerbaijan’s application for permanent membership in PIC/S.
The purpose of the consultant’s visit is to assess the current pharmaceutical regulatory and inspection system in Azerbaijan, approve local regulations with PIC/S standards, conduct training to improve CAE’s ability to inspect and certify pharmaceutical products and the skills of inspectors and regulators. CAE staff will also be trained in conducting GMP audits and ensuring data integrity in regulatory and testing processes.
This visit underscores Azerbaijan’s commitment to adhering to international regulatory frameworks, improving healthcare standards and expanding access to global markets. It could also set the way for the Azerbaijani regulator body to join PIC/S, which will strengthen our country’s standing in the global pharmaceutical community.
