During the meeting, parties from the two countries discussed political plans for biohealth export and working-level cooperation between enterprises and regulatory agencies. Chungcheongbuk-do then concluded an MOU with MSD, both agreeing to cooperate for more exchanges in health and medicine by exchanging information to export Chungbuk’s biohealth products to Tanzania, supporting the growth of the biohealth industry of Tanzania, and fostering a biohealth workforce. After the meeting, they visited Korea’s best bio cluster Osong Bio Valley and looked around Chungbuk’s excellent bio infrastructure. In addition, they learned about Korea’s current biohealth workforce and witnessed the entire development and manufacturing processes of new drugs and medical devices at New Drug Development Center, Medical Device Development Center, Laboratory Center, and Biopharmaceuticals Manufacturing Center of Osong Medical Innovation Foundation.
