Qatar Life Pharma, a leading pharmaceutical company in the country, has put in place a robust strategy to meet all the pharmaceutical needs of Qatar amid the ongoing Gulf crisis, its Executive Director Dr Ahmed Hamad al Mohannadi has said.
The pharmaceutical industry in Qatar will witness a sea change soon, he informed.
"A rapid development will take place in the production line to make available the products that were once sourced from the countries imposing a blockade. We provide specific lines and technologies for specific products and cooperate with all parties in Qatar. We have a strategy to deal with countries to provide humanitarian needs," he said, adding that the pharma sector has witnessed positive changes after the blockade was imposed on Doha.
He said medicines used to be imported from the blockading countries and Qatar provided great opportunities to Gulf companies taking into account the GCC's"unified purchasing process."
However, production lines have now been changed and the pharma industry is experiencing accelerated growth, he added.
Mohannadi suggested that"raw materials supply company" should be set up in Qatar for all industries to be a joint venture between Qatar Development Bank and Qatari companies and factories, as well as Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to provide the best raw materials.
Stressing the importance of achieving self-reliance in food and medicine production, he said building a national strategy for the industry would not only help meet the needs of the country, but would also target exporting of products.
The pharmaceutical industries in Qatar will provide high-quality medicines and the national plans include all the precautions and possibilities for this.
Mohannadi said the production line available in the factory has the capacity to produce millions of containers annually for liquid medicines, creams, solid medicines, disinfectants and emergency drugs.
He said the plant's large production capacity is sufficient to the meet the needs of the Qatari market and even exports. Mohannadi stressed that Qatar Life aims to take Qatar into a new era in a professional manner.
On Qatar Hayat Pharmaceutical Industries, he said the plant's operational plan includes three stages of production, processing and development. The first phase, which included three production lines each representing an integrated plant creams, disinfectants, has been completed.
The second phase includes production of tablets and capsules, while the third phase depends on partnerships with international companies for the production of specialty drugs and vaccines.
