People in Health has deep understanding of the global pharmaceutical industry, whether research based or generic. Our consultancy team includes experienced practitioners in all sectors and disciplines of the industry, with global reach.

The sort of projects within the competence of People in Health vary from

• advising a national Government on the establishment of an indigenous pharmaceutical industry
• Undertaking due diligence for multinationals on potential targets
• establishing alliance relationships between an advanced R&D orientated company and an SMEs in a developing country.

Most aspects of strategic, commercial and scientific advice are within the compass of the People in Health consultancy team, often operating as a multi-disciplinary grouping.

One of the key roles of People in Health Consultants is to provide additional expertise in specialist areas to support and complement in house competencies. The large multinational research based pharmaceutical companies will have significant capabilities in most areas. However, there will still be gaps in knowledge or experience, whether strategic, geographical, scientific or managerial. These needs can be filled by healthcare consultants from People in Health.

• The organisation of alliances;
• pre and post acquisition assessments;
• outsourcing reviews;
• management appraisals;
• specific regulatory screening;
• new marketing initiatives;

These are just some of the areas where People in Health support can provide complementary support. The fast growing generic pharmaceutical industry has different priorities. Manufacturing cost; supply and procurement; distribution; geographical development; availability of dossiers; may all be items for consultancy support.

People in Health Consultants can bolster in house skills in all spheres of activity, including:

• Overall Strategy
• Market entry for new products and countries
• Regulatory Affairs
• Pricing
• Manufacturing
• Pharmacovigilance
