What Patients Need to Know About Hedley Rees

Pharmaceutical supply chains produce the drugs that enter a patient's body. If anything goes wrong in production, even though the Regulatory Authority has approved a drug for sale, it can have a devastating impact. So, what do patients really know about what goes on in pharmaceutical supply chains? It seems not a lot. Recent events with COVID-19 have reinforced my impression that the general public do not understand that drugs have to be produced in the same way aeroengines, aircraft and silicon chips have to be produced. They also have to incur development lead-times in the same way-that includes selecting materials, suppliers, processes, and a raft of other necessities before commercial production can begin. This book will provide you with the insights and knowledge you need, assuming you are keen to know. You will be surprised at what you learn.
