Sesi produktif bersama National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) telah diadakan bagi memahami serta mengenal pasti peluang penambahbaikan dalam proses dan keperluan pendaftaran produk farmaseutikal. Penambahbaikan ini dilaksanakan melalui kajian menyeluruh yang memfokuskan kepada pematuhan peraturan, kelancaran aliran kerja, dan penyeragaman dokumen supaya proses pendaftaran menjadi lebih jelas, teratur, serta mudah dijadikan rujukan oleh pihak industri. Sebagai langkah susulan, PPN akan melaksanakan pemetaan proses dan tempoh semasa pendaftaran iaitu 210 hari bekerja bagi produk generik dan 240 hari bekerja bagi produk NCE/biologik bagi mengenal pasti kelewatan dalam proses dalaman NPRA. Sesi libat urus bersama pihak berkepentingan dan industri farmaseutikal juga akan diadakan bagi mengesahkan data serta berkongsi pengalaman permohonan dan cadangan penambahbaikan terhadap isu kelewatan tersebut. Di samping itu, analisa perbandingan proses dan prosedur di negara jiran seperti Thailand dan Singapura akan dilakukan.

A workshop was conducted to discuss the technical requirements set by the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (BOMBA) for pharmaceutical plant approvals. The session brought together industry representatives and technical consultants to examine key issues and challenges affecting productivity in the pharmaceutical sector. This initiative was prompted by industry feedback highlighting significant delays in the development of pharmaceutical plants—often taking more than seven years—due to unclear and misunderstood technical requirements, particularly those related to BOMBA approvals. The discussions aimed to clarify BOMBA’s fire safety compliance procedures, identify recurring bottlenecks, and explore practical solutions to improve the overall efficiency of the approval process. Case studies were shared to provide real-world context and promote a better understanding of how technical requirements can be met without unnecessary delays. Industry participants were also facilitated and advised by experts on BOMBA requirements through the review and assessment of their construction plans. The workshop provided an important platform for sharing knowledge and offering technical guidance. It represented a positive move toward improving the pharmaceutical plant approval process while ensuring compliance with strict safety standards. Moving forward, the session will contribute to the development of practical guidelines aimed at harmonizing the approval process making it more efficient, structured, and aligned with industry needs.
