BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 4. Two of Hungary’s
largest pharmaceutical companies have been operating in Azerbaijan
since the early years of the country’s independence, starting from
1996, Trend reports.
The Hungarian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Tamás József Torma said
this during his speech at the 2nd International Conference titled
“Azerbaijan Pharmaceutical Industry: Yesterday, Today and
Tomorrow.”
“‘Richter’, ‘Gedeon’, and ‘Egis’ are represented in the
Azerbaijani market with important original and generic
pharmaceutical products. Pharmaceuticals account for half of
Hungary’s exports to Azerbaijan. I would like to proudly note that
most of these companies are committed to continuing and further
developing cooperation.
Therefore, contract-based packaging and production of
significant medical products may soon begin, which will make an
important contribution to the process of localizing pharmaceutical
production in Azerbaijan,” he said.
The ambassador noted that today, discussions will also be held
on international and Hungarian experience regarding digitalization
in healthcare and the transformation brought by artificial
intelligence in pharmaceutical production.
