It’s a long term battle:
Disease Vs Innovation
We always believe that only with great passion, will we be able to strive harder to achieve greater success and recognition in healthcare services. Innovation is the key path to develop new patented formulation for the prevention and treatment of diseases.
We fight to improve people’s health
A group of 40 professional scientists and laboratory executives, with only one common objective, which is intended to improve patients’ lives via new product development, pharmaceutical stability and bioequivalence (BE) studies.
Pharmaceutical stability
& bioequivalence studies
Apart from developing new products, our R&D team which is known as Attest Research Sdn Bhd focuses on stability & bioequivalence studies too. The 2 parameters are critical in ensuring the quality and consistency of Hovid’s products, and these are all part of Hovid’s efforts in ensuring the best for our customers.
In Malaysia, there are only a handful of centres certified and recognized by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia that are able to conduct BE studies. As part of clinical assurance, bioequivalence ensures the quality, efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical products reach the highest levels. To keep pace with the increasing demand for BE, Hovid has set up a large facility in Bayan Lepas, Penang to house clinical facilities with cutting-edge technology and at the same time, providing a comfortable environment for volunteers participating in the BE studies. Part of Hovid’s R&D team is based in this centre focusing mainly on BE studies while another team is based in Hovid’s manufacturing plant in Chemor, Perak.
