A bimonthly
newsletter of developments in the pharmaceutical,
hospital and medical device markets.
ISSUE 6, APRIL 1998
Introduction
The South East Asian Healthcare sector has grown quickly and is now beginning to experience rationalization. Thailand and Indonesia have lifted limits on foreign shareholding and Malaysia is hinting that it may do the same. Local hospitals and pharmaceutical companies have recognized the need for foreign investment and have begun to seek it quite actively. This edition's focus examines healthcare distribution within the region. It gives an outline of the major players, both regionally and in each country, and offers details of the drug regulatory process in each country. We hope that you find South East Asian Health News useful and informative.
