Erfolgsrezept Medizinalcannabis – zuverlässige Analytik kombiniert mit regulatorischer Strategie und weitreichenden Services
Obgleich Medizinalcannabis in Deutschland im Pharmabereich zunehmend etabliert ist, werden die Hersteller, Vertreiber und Großhändler bei den verschiedensten lokalen Aufsichtsbehörden, abhängig vom jeweiligen Unternehmenssitz, noch immer vor neue Herausforderungen gestellt.

We will be happy to assist you in its implementation, both in the regulatory and in the quality…
