PR: Excellis Health joins forces with KORUS Consulting

Leading life sciences and pharmaceutical experts Excellis Health Solutions have joined forces with the Russia-based IT consulting firm, KORUS Consulting to deliver end-to-end support for companies working within the Russian pharmaceutical supply chain.

On 1 January 2020 Russia will introduce a new mandatory system for tracking pharmaceuticals from manufacturer to end user. The legislation is a substantial challenge for companies working in the sector, and this new partnership between Excellis Health and KORUS Consulting will provide those in the supply chain with unparalleled expertise and practical local knowledge, to secure their future business in the region.

Karan Narang, President, International at Excellis Health Solutions comments: “Russia’s new pharmaceutical legislation is fast approaching. Companies working in the supply chain want assurance that advisors have knowledge of regulation intricacies at a local level, while ensuring the application of best practices. By working with KORUS Consulting, we can now offer customers global subject matter expertise combined with local delivery capabilities. This enables our clients to implement processes and technologies for compliance while optimizing Russia’s specific operational processes.”

Alexander Semenov, Chairman of the Board at KORUS Consulting says; “We are delighted to work with Excellis and look forward to helping companies untangle Russia’s legislation. These new regulations are complicated and impact all organisations in the supply chain. Our Russia-based team of delivery professionals will help to ensure that all complexities are identified, addressed correctly and supporting systems are implemented in the most efficient manner.”

The core business of Excellis Europe is to support pharma companies – brand owners, generic manufacturers, contract packers, from large enterprises that are active world-wide to small specialized companies – in shaping up, planning and delivering their serialization programmes.
