APEC LSIF workshop, September 12-14, 2007, Seoul, Korea
In September 2007, a workshop on ICH Quality Guidelines was held in Seoul, Korea, under the theme of "Opportunities and Challenges Related to Implementation." This APEC Life Sciences Innovation Forum-supported workshop was held in response to requests from regulators in APEC economies on how to achieve the economic production of quality pharmaceuticals and thus contribute to the safety, efficacy and affordability of therapeutic products.
The two-day workshop was attended by regulators, policy makers, academia and industry from interested APEC economies and involved participation from a number of ICH experts.
The programme objectives included a practical explanation of ICH guidelines and an interactive discussion of the anticipated challenges and opportunities associated with the implementation of Q8 (Pharmaceutical Development), Q9 (Quality Risk Management) and Q10 (Pharmaceutical Quality System) in APEC regions.
