TAGS: ,

Focus Reports releases its new 70 page Turkey Healthcare and Life Sciences Report 2016.

It offers companies, investors, policymakers, and stakeholders with an interest in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, or life sciences insights into the Turkish pharmaceutical industry; an industry with a rich heritage currently striving to find the balance between fostering domestic growth and building stronger international partnerships.

It features interviews with senior executives from the major companies in Turkey and leaders of the country’s most important institutions, updated facts and figures on Turkey’s healthcare and pharma sectors, and an exclusive in-depth cover story, ‘Navigating the Crossroads’.

The report is an authoritative assessment of one of Turkey’s leading industries. Turkish pharma will continue receiving a great deal of investment in the years and decades ahead for the following reasons:

Geography – Turkey is the most politically stable country in the region; well positioned to supply populations across North Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, and parts of Western and Central Asia.

Domestic Initiatives – The Turkish state has realized the importance of the pharma sector and is now actively promoting initiatives in domestic vaccine production, biotech, and high-cost treatments.

International Cooperation – Turkey has much to gain by working with the global industry in the globalized production of innovative products and greater participation in the R&D process for new medicines.
