Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) recently completed the Asia Training Center for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Regulatory Affairs (PMDA-ATC) Japanese Pharmacopoeia Webinar 2020 for Thai FDA on October 20, 2020.

The webinar opened with remarks by Dr. SATO Junko (Office Director of Office of International Programs from PMDA) and by Dr. Suchart Chongprasert (Director of Drug Control Division from Thai FDA).

Overall comments from the participants
“It's useful for Thai participants to know more on JP and understand clearly.”
“The webinar is a useful way to communicate with each other when we cannot have a physical meeting. It can reduce time and cost for traveling. However, it needs a good internet connection, a good webinar platform and other equipment. When it comes to a Q&A session, the face to face meeting is better.”
