New GSP Taking Effect Right After The 3rd Pharma Cold Chain China Event

Shanghai China, /PRNewswire/ - Recently, the Ministry of Health issued the New GSP, which will be effective fromJune 1st, 2013. The improvement of the Pharmaceutical Cold Chain is one of the main goals. It is clear that great attention and actions have already been given by the Chinese government towards this end. It is believed that with the improvements in the regulations application, advanced technology, cost-effective management and other developing strategies, the so-called "scattered, small, chaotic, weak" cold chain market will be re-shuffled and the pharmaceutical cold chain industry in China will become more mature. During this period, many challenges will come up, but more opportunities will also appear at the same time.

After the great success of PLC 2012, the 3rd PHARMA Cold Chain China 2013, which is being organized by CPhI Conferences, will take place on 23-24 May in Shanghai, aiming to provide the most valued and high-quality platform for all industry stakeholders to share ideas and solutions. Around 150 senior decision makers will gather together in Shanghai sharing their ideas and experience. The hot topics, such as regulatory practices, industrial integration & cold chain process intensification, quality assurance upgrading and technology innovation will be put on the table for delegates to discuss the best practice model, explore the right future direction, and discover new business opportunities as well.
