In the year 2020 that brought significant changes due to the quarantine restrictions, during the V All-Russian GMP Conference that included foreign participants, Roche representatives shared their experience with online state GMP inspections of foreign production facilities. The State Institute of Drugs and Good Practices (FSI SID & GP) of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia conducted the very first video inspection of the company’s manufacturing site in Basel (Switzerland). The workshop was met with great interest in terms of both preparation to the new-format inspection and all the details of implementation thereof.
