  • Evans Medical, Chi Pharmaceuticals, May&Baker and Swiss Pharma have already obtained prequalification. These four companies, alongside four others that are processing the WHO prequalification, have invested $50 million in different levels of upgrade in the last five years.
  • Similarly, ten drug firms have met the requirements of the International Standards Organisation (ISO), which now enables them to raise their competitive capacity in the international market.
