PharmaLedger Association to implement, promote Digital Trust Ecosystem in healthcare

KUALA LUMPUR, March 14 (Bernama) -- The PharmaLedger Association (PLA), has announced the endorsement of its three-year strategic plan to implement and promote a Digital Trust Ecosystem in healthcare (DTE-H) at its Annual General Meeting in Lucerne, Switzerland recently.

According to PLA in a statement, the member organisations also confirmed the appointment of eight Directors to its board, delivering on PLA’s core value of “Ecosystem Leadership”.

Representing the diversity of healthcare, PLA’s founding members comprise large and small pharmaceutical companies, research organisations, patient representative organisations, non-profit organisations, technology and healthcare service providers.

PLA has confirmed its mandate as a pre-competition umbrella organisation delivering common and interoperable digital solutions in the areas of Product Trust, Decentralized Clinical Trials, and Supply Chain Traceability.

Among others, PLA will release the first qualified product, electronic Product Information for implementation by its members in the first quarter of 2023; and continue to onboard new members and engage with authorities, trade associations and standards development organisations, ensuring growth and financial viability.

“PLA has started with a diverse and strong team of members with a common vision and who believe in real change. With PLA, we have the right vehicle, resources and roadmap to take patients to a better place in healthcare,” said its Executive Director, Daniel Fritz.

The formation of the PLA and the endorsement of its mission by diverse members of healthcare is a major milestone, paving the way for delivery of widely trusted blockchain-based platforms with new open-source healthcare solutions to create value for patients and ecosystem stakeholders.

A not-for-profit based in Switzerland, PLA is grateful to its 20 founding members and invites all healthcare related organisations to learn more and engage towards the realisation of a trusted Healthcare 4.0.
