Pharma Regulatory Services in Poland - Overview
Poland has the largest Pharmaceutical market in Central and Eastern Europe and a structured healthcare system boasting good market opportunities for aspiring medicinal product manufacturers. For compliant market access, manufacturers must register their medicinal products with Chief Pharmaceutical Inspectorate of Poland. As per the Directive 2001/83/EC, any new medicinal product shall be registered through a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) following certain procedures:
- Article 8(3) for New Chemical Entity (NCE)
- Article 10 for generic, hybrid and similar biological medicinal products
Further, the Market Authorization Holder (MAH) has to meet all the requirements listed out by the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) considering the UK as a 3rd country post March 30, 2019.

Right from choosing dependant local representative, adapting to suitable submission pathway is crucial the product’s acceptance into the country.
