INTRODUCTION
The Association for Generic Medicine Producers (APMGR) was set up in 2009, at the initiative of a dynamic group of high quality generic medicine producing companies. APMGR is a non-governmental and independent organization that aims to actively contribute to improving the access to medicines for Romanian patients.
Throughout the world, generic medicines are the solution for increasing access to pharmaceutical treatment. In order to have a competitive healthcare system in Romania, we need to learn from the European experience, where the support for generic consumption improved the access to high quality medical assistance for a higher number of patients while also rendering public spending more efficient.
APMGR gathers the most important companies in the generic medicine production field, present on the Romanian market: Accord Healthcare, Amring Pharmaceuticals, Alvogen, Dr. Reddy’s, Egis, Fresenius Kabi, Gedeon Richter, Infomed Fluids, Krka, Magistra CC, Medochemie, Mylan, Sandoz, Teva, Zentiva.
APMGR is affiliated (since 2011) to the Medicines for Europe Association, the official representative body of the European generic and biosimilar pharmaceutical industry, which is at the forefront of providing high-quality affordable medicines to millions of Europeans and stimulating competitiveness and innovation in the pharmaceutical sector.
