Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif - Prime Minister
I would like to extend my heartfelt felicitations to Ecommerce Gateway Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd. for successfully organizing the 21st Pharma Asia
International Exhibition & Conference. The event plays a pivotal role in promoting progress and fostering collaboration within the pharmaceutical
industry of Pakistan aswell as the region.
For more than twenty years, Pharma Asia has nurtured a vibrant atmosphere that showcases groundbreaking advancements, facilitates knowledge
sharing, and cultivates strong partnerships. By doing so, it not only reinforces the strength of Pakistan's pharmaceutical sector but also positions it
as a significant contributor in the regional market.
I warmly welcome all local and international participants to this distinctive platform that fosters innovation, attracts investment, and propels Pakistan's
pharmaceutical industry towards self-sufficiency.
The government remains dedicated to supporting this vital sector, continuously introducing policies that encourage research and development, streamline
regulatory procedures, and facilitate international cooperation.
I wish them best in their endeavors to harness the immense potential of growth and prosperity for Pakistan's pharmaceutical industry. This transformation will not
only benefit our nation but also the entire region.
Dr. Malik Mukhtar Ahmad Bharath - Coordinator to Prime Minister on Health Ministry of National Health
Services, Regulation & Coordination
Aligned with the Federal Government's initiatives under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif,
Pharmaceutical Sector of Pakistan has gained prominence due to its critical role in ensuring the nation's access to safe, effective and highquality
medicines. To achieve this, the government is committed to promote an investment conducive environment that stimulates research and enhances
the sector's competitiveness.
This two-pronged approach endorses promoting a culture of research & development and increasing attractiveness to invest in pharma sector. We are emphasizing
on strengthening regulatory framework of Pakistan and diversification of locally manufactured medical products, for which various incentives have been offered by
the government. In this context, I see 21st Pharma Asia Int'l Exhibition and Conference as one of the most relevant platforms to sensitize the investors and to show
true potential of our pharmaceutical sector.
Multiple stakeholders have converged here to exchange knowledge and explore new opportunities that will drive the future of healthcare in Pakistan and beyond.
This exhibition and conference will also pave way for preparing Pakistani Pharmaceutical Industry to contribute in the global efforts of access to quality medicines
and increase their pharma exports.
I extend my best wishes to all participants, exhibitors, and organizers of 21st Pharma Asia International Exhibition & Conference scheduled from August 20th to
22nd, 2024 and encourage them to actively engage in this event. Together, we can propel the pharmaceutical industry to new heights, ensuring a healthier and
more prosperous future of our nation.
Wishing you a successful and productive Pharma Asia 2024.
