APEC-LSIF COE 2021 Training Programme Announcement

In 2020, APEC economies and other countries around the world have been impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic and this has resulted in a wide-range of supply chain disruptions, including the distribution and manufacture of medical products.

The pandemic has brought to light how crucial a proper understanding of Track & Trace and the Storage & Transportation of medical products is. Ensuring supply chain security with appropriate Track & Trace initiatives and managing the logistics with good supply & distribution practices are important components of assurance of safety, quality, and efficacy of medical products. This will be especially important when a vaccine becomes available.

In light of this, the APEC-LSIF COEs (in Global Supply Chain Integrity) of Taylor’s University and United States Pharmacopeia (USP), together with the Ministry of Health Malaysia, are jointly organising a training consisting of three webinars (in December 2020, followed by January and February 2021), which will then culminate in a two-day online training on March 11 and 12, 2021, focusing on Good Distribution Practice and Track and Trace . 

According to Taylor’s University APEC CoE Director, Professor Dr P.T. Thomas, the webinars and 2-day session in March next year, will be useful training for times like these.

He said: “We are very glad and privileged to partner with a globally-known organisation, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the Ministry of Health Malaysia to bring this training. We have a line-up of experienced and expert speakers from around the world.”

Registration is now open for Webinar 1 on Dec 9, 2020, which will be moderated by USP’s Ruth Lee. Anthony Tann, General Manager and Senior Director, APAC, USP (Singapore) will speak on “An Overview of Track and Trace Using Global Standard” and Goh Chiang Fein, CEO, GS1 Malaysia Berhad, will share his thoughts on “Increasing Transparency in the Medicines Supply Chain.” Click here if you’d like to register.
