Currently, the Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers’ Associations of JAPAN has set up subcommittees and projects within the Stability Ensuring Committee, which acts as a contact point for various review meetings sponsored by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Factors contributing to the unrest in the supply of pharmaceuticals include: (1) drug substance (global products, geopolitical risks, pandemics, emergencies), (2) Information (individual, overall, system, disclosure, analysis), (3) Quality (compliance) issues, and (4) Industrial structural issues. Multiple factors are intertwined, and in order to resolve the factors, it is necessary to unravel each of the intertwined factors one by one. As an industry organization, we will continue to work towards achieving a stable supply of pharmaceuticals with the aim of resolving supply concerns.
