On October 22-23, 2024, the NU School of Medicine hosted two major events: the IV International Pharmaceutical Forum "Global Pharm" and the IV International Medical Equipment Forum "MedTech." These forums have become some of the largest gatherings in Kazakhstan’s healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, offering an invaluable platform for business-to-business (B2B) and government-to-business (G2B) collaboration.
The events attracted over 300 in-person delegates and more than 2,000 online participants from around the world, reflecting the high level of interest in the growth of Kazakhstan’s pharmaceutical industry and healthcare system.
The forums focused on sharing best practices, strengthening partnerships, exploring opportunities for international cooperation, and integrating cutting-edge technologies into the fields of medicine and pharmaceuticals. Key discussions centered on boosting scientific and workforce development, increasing exports of locally produced pharmaceuticals, and modernizing medical facilities with state-of-the-art equipment.
Representatives from the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Kazakhstan, SK-Pharmacy LLP, the Committee for Medical and Pharmaceutical Control under the Ministry of Healthcare, Nazarbayev University, the National Center for Expertise of Medicines, Medical Devices, and Medical Equipment, as well as leaders from public health organizations, BigPharma, domestic pharmaceutical enterprises, and companies from other CIS countries attended the forums.
One of the highlights of the event was a virtual roundtable featuring global industry leaders such as Johnson & Johnson, Biocad, Takeda, Novartis, Nobel, Santo, and Stada.
The forums were organized by the "Silk Way Development Fund" (E-Forum.net project) with support from the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Healthcare, SK-Pharmacy LLP and in partnership with NU Medicine.
