Palestinian Authority Visits Indonesian Pharmaceutical Industries

Jakarta, MINA – Participants from the Palestinian National Medicine Regulatory Authority (NMRA) enthusiastically visited Indonesian Pharmaceutical Industries such Kimia Farma, Kalbe Farma, and Kimia Farma Pharmacy on Thursday (10/18) in the last series of training in strengthening drug supervision capacity of the Indonesian Drug Supervisory Agency and Food (BPOM).

During the visit, the participants were very actively asking questions and very excited to see directly the production process.

“Please explain to us the difference between quality system and quality control in your company?” “How long does your standard apply for the quality system and quality control?” Two repeated questions were asked to Kimia Farma and Kalbe Farma’s officer by the participants.

In addition, to focus on these questions, participants were so interested in seeing the process of recording product administration. “Barcodes and batches are one of our concerns in Palestine and you have recorded this in great detail,” said one participant to Kalbe Farma’s officer.

According to BPOM, this event is part of South-South Cooperation. Palestine is the first country to work together for this training. This is also part of BPOM’s commitment to continue to work with countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
