European pharma entry into Eurasia: why local partners matter
A growing market with regulatory challenges
The pharmaceutical market in Eurasia is a major opportunity for European companies. In Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, more than 50% of medicines are imported, creating constant demand for high-quality and innovative products. Yet, entering this market is complex. Registration, certification, and tendering procedures vary by country and may take between 6 and 18 months.

-
Streamline registration and certification.

Access public procurement programs.
