This is Zahra Hassan, I'm a pharmacist, with almost 10 years of experience in the pharma industry, my experience is extended to cover the regulatory affairs field, which deals with registration and granting health authorities approval for health products, including medicines, medical devices, over the counter products "OTC", such as food supplements, and cosmetics as well.
This is in addition to the quality compliance, control, and assurance for these health products, and also ensuring product safety through pharmacovigilance activities.
I have been practicing all these professions for 10 years covering 20 countries, across the regions of the Middle East, Africa, Levant, and Turkey.
During my career journey, I gave myself lots of credits through postgraduate studies
Msc of pharmacovigilance Bordeaux university France
MBA, Chiffley buisneiss school , Australia
Dual Diploma of Regulatory Affairs "pharmaceutical and medical devices" RAP society, USA.
Certified lead auditor
currently enrolled in the Ph.D. program of pharmacovigilance at Bordeaux University France
Even though postgraduate studies for sure will certainly add to the profile, the practice is something else, At the beginning of my career journey I was chasing professionals asking for private lessons after work to gain practical experience from them, and it was not for free, I used to make this deal with many professionals as I can to get as much diverse experience that I can gain, in addition, I used to follow national and international pharma industry events attending, then participating from my pocket. This simply happens when you follow your passion.
