DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets has announced the addition of Just Pharma Reports's new report "Pharmaceuticals Market Access Taiwan" to their offering.
January 2013 will see implementation of Taiwan's second generation national health insurance law bringing important changes to the market for prescription medicines in one of Asia's booming tiger economies. The new drug pricing process will be modified and the importance of health technology assessment (HTA) reaffirmed. The Cross-Strait Co-operation Agreement on Medicine and Public Health Affairs with mainland China might be of even greater significance in the longer term as this potentially leads to progressive mutual recognition of clinical trial results. R&D companies active in Taiwan will then have easier access to the 1.3 billion consumers speaking the same language waiting just across the Strait.
Written with the understandable detail and objectivity you require, Pharmaceuticals Market Access Taiwan provides the answers needed for product introduction and life-cycle management in the sixth-largest market in Asia-Pacific:
