Diapharm creates access.  
Access to markets, products, consumers, and patients — locally, nationally, across Europe, and worldwide. 

As a management consultancy firm, Diapharm supports the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries, creating market access and value with foresight and creativity for nearly 40 years. 

Diapharm provides regulatory strategy, product development, market access, quality management, and medical affairs support for medicinal products, medical devices, diagnostics, food supplements, and cosmetics.

 

Global Market Access and Legal Responsibility

Diapharm makes it possible for international pharmaceutical companies to successfully enter the European market. As a legal manufacturer, we assume regulatory responsibility for medical devices in Europe and third countries. In the UK, we serve as an authorized representative. Worldwide, we audit active ingredient manufacturers.

 

Marketing Authorization Procedures and Pharmacovigilance in Europe 

Diapharm manages national and European marketing authorization procedures — whether it’s centralized European Medicine Agency (EMA) procedures, decentralized across EU member states, or national. Under our manufacturing and import authorization, we handle EU import approvals for medicinal products and ensure compliance with European pharmacovigilance requirements by providing an EU QPPV (Qualified person responsible for pharmacovigilance).

 

Responsibility and Quality Management in the DACH region

In the DACH region, we assume roles such as the responsible person for wholesale (Germany), the national QPPV (Austria), and the person responsible for advertising (Switzerland). Diapharm understands the European directives and the resulting national laws and implements GMP/GVP/GDP-compliant quality management systems. In Switzerland, Diapharm acts as the Swiss authorized representative for medical devices.

Where it all began — a new perspective on regulatory services

Dr. Stefan Sandner establishes Diapharm. His view: regulatory problems require bold consultants and creative approaches.

The conviction: problems can only be solved by those who commit to solving them

From early on, Diapharm took on regulatory roles like Information Officer and Graduated Plan Officer. Initially, this was met with criticism, but later it became clear that it was a groundbreaking approach for the industry.

Time is money — pharma pipelines rely on available products

With OTC dossiers, Diapharm opened up Europe-wide market access  —  with over 500 products resulting from it.

Substance-based medical devices open up opportunities —  If efficient regulatory handling succeeds

As one of the first legal manufacturers for medical devices, Diapharm assumed complete regulatory responsibility for products.

2007

A new field: quality of medicines begins with the active ingredient — GMP audits ensure this.

Early on, Diapharm recognized the need for global API qualification — blue inspection. They audited manufacturers and produced high-quality API audit reports.
