F-D-C Reports, Inc. announces the launch of
PharmAsiaNews.com: a new subscription-based online service covering Rx drugs,
biologics and devices in China,
India, Japan and other nations in the Pacific
Rim.
"By leveraging the editorial excellence of 'The Pink Sheet,' the leading
information source for U.S. pharmaceutical industry information since 1939 into
the Asian markets and combining it with new features enabled by Web 2.0
technology, we believe PharmAsiaNews.com will become an important information
service to multinational pharmaceutical companies who are making increasingly
larger bets in the region," said Gerry Stoia, V.P. of Elsevier Health
Science Division's Pharma Solutions unit and President of F-D-C Reports, Inc.
"Increasingly over the past several years, customers have requested
reliable, independent and accurate 'Pink Sheet like' coverage of business and
regulatory developments in the APAC region. F-D-C Reports, Inc. has answered
the call for information on developments in China,
India, Japan and other
countries in the region via our PharmAsiaNews.com service," Stoia added.
The result is a publication that provides readers with the broadest spectrum of
news sources, including: original on-the-ground reporting from news bureaus
across Asia; guest columns; exclusive
interviews; news summaries; English translation summaries of Chinese- and
Japanese-language news; and aggregated content from around the globe.
"What makes PharmAsiaNews.com unique is our commitment to original local
market coverage and insights developed by local staff that is resident in the
market. This is not a service that provides solely rewritten press releases and
translated local language stories. By leveraging Elsevier's global footprint,
we've brought local talent aboard to provide our customers with the 'boots on
the ground' coverage our customers have requested," said Joe Hecker,
Editor-in-Chief at Elsevier's F-D-C Reports, Inc.
Subscribers to PharmAsiaNews.com get online access to around-the-clock coverage
of the rapidly expanding Asia marketplace, including China, India, Japan and
other nations in the Pacific Rim; twice-weekly email updates; full archive
access; breaking news alerts; and other online resources.
