KARACHI: Dr Faisal Sultan has recently inaugurated the Central Drug Testing Laboratory of the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) in Karachi after updating the lab facility to meet the world testing standards.
Dr Faisal Sultan, Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Health, said the lab was a significant step towards monitoring the standards of medicines produced in the country.
He said the DRAP would be in a better position to discharge its obligations to regulate and promote the pharmaceutical sector of Pakistan after this up-gradation of the laboratory.
He hoped the lab could be counted among one of the best drug testing laboratories globally as it had well-trained human resources and all the required supplies.
According to him, the government would soon introduce the E-governance system to digitize all the records of the DRAP and import and export of drugs would also be made fully automated.
