Nowadays, out-sourcing is a very effective solution. Many Healthcare companies whether pharmaceutical or Medical device companies are outsourcing their Regulatory Affairs function when it comes to the Middle East and Africa region.

Adding to the regional procedural complexities, a handful of end-to-end Regulatory service providers make the situation even more critical for manufacturers expansion in a cost-effective way. For example, if a European based drug manufacturer is interested in marketing their product in the Middle East, they may require a service provider who has complete knowledge of the Middle East Pharma Regulatory market space along with some knowledge of a customizable suite of Regulatory services spanning across strategy to submissions, rather than a regular service provider who has expertise in only one country, and might incur huge costs for the drug manufacturer.
