As drug and medical device production ramped up to respond to the pandemic, manufacturers faced the challenge of more effectively monitoring, analysing, reporting and acting on quality performance. Siniša Belina, senior life sciences consultant at Amplexor, reveals the latest best practice.
Across a whole swathe of industries the Covid-19 pandemic has shone a light on restrictive business processes, information silos and poor supply-chain visibility. In life sciences manufacturing, for instance, a range of challenges linked to quality management have been exposed and starkly felt. On the one hand, public safety measures over the last 18+ months have put physical distance between team members - hampering the usual form-filling, manual sign-offs and Excel-based record-keeping associated with…
The pharma industry is continuously striving to be more customer-led in its activities, but the healthcare ecosystem is complex, meaning that product teams must consider the relative needs of a whole range of stakeholders. Here, drawing on new research, Malte Scholz of airfocus discusses what’s needed today to navigate and balance those differing priorities.
For all that pharma organisations claim to have refocused their efforts around customers over the last decade or more, mapping new developments to tangible outcomes isn’t easy. In pharma, this challenge is particularly acute due to the diversity of stakeholders with views on what they want from next-generation products. In addition to the ultimate customers (patients), physicians, speciality clinicians, regulators, payers and insurers a…

Warehouse management software (WMS) can be used to improve efficiency in almost any kind of supply chain, and pharmaceutical logistics is no exception. In this article, Edward Napier-Fenning, New Business Development Manager at Balloon One, shares four key benefits of optimising the supply chain using the latest WMS technology.
The pharmaceutical supply chain presents unique logistical challenges. For one thing, many products in this sector are subject to extensive compliance regulations that dictate how a particular product must be transported, stored, and distributed. Stringent time constraints and use-before dates can also apply, and in many cases, additional care must be taken to ensure that pharmaceutical supplies are not compromised or contaminated. All of this makes the supply chain…

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is closely related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, peptic ulcer, Hp-related dyspepsia and other diseases. Studies have found that Hp can cause gastric microbial disorders, change the microbial diversity and community structure in the stomach, and cause precancerous lesions. The public health community has made great efforts to eradicate Hp for a long time, but the current Hp infection rate in the entire population is still over 50%. In recent years, probiotics have attracted attention due to their relative safety, and microecological therapy has brought new ideas for the treatment of Hp.

The pharmaceuticals sector is facing a raft of difficult challenges today. In broad terms, pharmaceuticals manufacturing is a complex process. Patented products are licensed for a finite amount of time before they become generic, equating to a constant sense of ‘the race is on’ to be able to meet demand. Manufacturers are focused on reducing supply chain disruption, increasing batch production capacity, and reducing batch losses.

In the last 12 months, Pharma companies have become acutely aware of…
