Product Quality and Safety: One Global Standard – Everywhere
Our company’s standards for product quality and safety in manufacturing and distribution are global and apply wherever we operate. Regular audits are undertaken in local markets to ensure compliance with internal company as well as external regulatory authority standards. Examples in developing countries are listed here.
- Ensuring compliance with laws and regulations worldwide for the security of products through advanced technologies such as serialization and anti-counterfeiting features help combat counterfeit drugs. Such efforts are underway around the world, including in South America, India and China.
- Optimizing efforts for cold chain support in India in preparation of the introduction of biologic treatments in the future.
In Mumbai, India, Bristol-Myers Squibb is supporting the safe and appropriate use of its medicines through continuing medical education programs and scientific and medical advisor interactions with thought leaders. Similar efforts are occurring wherever the company operates throughout the developing and developed world.
