ISLAMABAD:

Minister for National Health Services Syed Mustafa Kamal on Tuesday apprised the Senate that Pakistan is moving towards opening more than 100 additional international markets for its medicines as the country prepares to secure World Health Organization (WHO) Maturity Level-3 accreditation.

Responding to a Calling Attention Notice moved by Senator Zeeshan Khanzada, the minister said Pakistan, currently accredited at WHO Maturity Level-2, was exporting pharmaceutical products to 52 countries, while achieving Level-3 would further expand access for Pakistani medicines to global markets.
