The Asian Harmonization Working Party (AHWP) is looking to expand their staff, according to minutes from the regulatory forum's 4 March Board of Directors meeting held in Hong Kong.
AHWP is a medical device-focused regulatory forum that aims to promote greater regulatory harmonization in Asia, including China, India, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, South Africa and Korea.
