A master's thesis in the College of Law at the University of Basrah discussed the legal status of pharmaceutical factories.
The thesis presented by the researcher Hossam Fadel Abdel-Wahhab indicated that the legal status of pharmaceutical factories is one of the delicate topics, and the matter needs to be pondered a lot due to its sensitivity and difficulty at times. It became clear to us that pharmaceutical factories are the entity in which medicines are produced and processed in a final way or in the form of raw materials used in the pharmaceutical industry. This industry takes place according to a system called the Pharmacopoeia, in which the standards of the raw materials included in the composition are determined, and the factories must register the medicine and special preparations before starting to manufacture them.
The thesis aims that the Iraqi legislator and the Egyptian legislator did not set a definition for pharmaceutical factories, unlike the Jordanian legislator, who defined it in the Medicine and Pharmacy Law. The French legislator also mentioned a definition for the pharmaceutical industry while the Iraqi legislator did not include a definition of the drug in the pharmacology practice law, but only gave two copies of it, which are constitutional preparations, from the same law.
