The Medical Department provides value-added support to the organization in the areas of Clinical Research, Regulatory Affairs and Medical Services.

As a research-driven organization, we coordinate the conduct of worldwide multicentre clinical trials in local hospitals and institutions as part of Merck global drug development program. We are also responsible for the registration of our products with the Minisitry of Health Malaysia, allowing the Malaysian public access to new, breakthrough medicines. With patient safety as priority, we advocate strict compliance to the regulatory & corporate adverse experience monitoring and reporting requirements.

Within Medical Services, we ensure our promotional materials and activities meet and adhere to the highest ethical standards. Additionally, the Medical Department acts as the Medical & Scientific resource for the whole organization.

Before MSD is able to promote our breakthrough drugs to our customers, we need to comply with our local laws in registering the medicine with the Ministry of Health. The primary function of the Regulatory Affairs team is to achieve regulatory approval for medicines in the fastest possible time. This involves a complex integration of clinical research data and knowledge of regulatory processes in MSD and in the country.
