About PQRA

Regulatory, quality and market-access experts for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry — turning regulatory complexity into a clear path to market.

Who We Are

Your partner from strategy to market

PQRA is an Athens-based consultancy serving pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers and healthcare innovators across Greece and the wider EU. For more than 25 years we have guided products through the full regulatory and reimbursement lifecycle — from first strategy through Marketing Authorization, market access and ongoing compliance.

We work as an extension of your team. Whether you need a single dossier compiled or an end-to-end regulatory, quality and pharmacovigilance function, we bring the expertise, the local EOF relationships and the EU-wide perspective to get it done.

Why PQRA

What sets us apart

Deep local knowledge

Day-to-day experience with the Greek National Organisation for Medicines (EOF) and the EOPYY reimbursement process, backed by fluency in EMA procedures.

Tailored, not templated

Every submission is optimised for your specific product and portfolio. We do not believe one size fits all.

End-to-end coverage

Regulatory Affairs, Market Access, Quality Assurance and Pharmacovigilance under one roof — so nothing falls between the gaps.

Senior people, every project

You work directly with experienced consultants, not junior staff learning on your account.

Our mission

To simplify complexity and reduce time-to-market for the companies that bring important medicines and technologies to patients — while keeping them fully compliant with EOF, EMA and international requirements.

Where a PQRA submission reaches

A marketing authorisation granted through the centralised procedure is valid in all 27 EU Member States and, through the EEA Agreement, in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. National, mutual recognition and decentralised routes let you select markets individually. We build the route that matches your portfolio and your commercial plan.

Greece — our home market

EOF · Ministry of Health · EOPYY

Direct liaison with the National Organisation for Medicines, the price bulletin process, the Assessment and Reimbursement Committee, the Negotiation Committee and EOPYY. Local representation, Greek-language labelling and the national pharmacovigilance contact point.

Cyprus and the Western Balkans

6 markets

Cyprus, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia — national registration routes, local requirements and market access support across the region, coordinated from Athens.

European Union and EEA

30 markets

All 27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, reachable from a single centralised marketing authorisation.

Why companies enter Europe through Greece

Greece is a full EU Member State with a mature regulatory authority, and it is one of the most widely referenced pricing markets in Europe. That makes the Greek decision a strategic one, not an afterthought at the end of a launch sequence.

30

Markets from one dossier

27 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, from a single centralised marketing authorisation.

13

Baskets that reference Greece

Greece appeared in 13 of 31 European external reference pricing baskets in the European Commission’s 2013 study — a Greek price does not stay in Greece.

25+

Years of EOF and EMA practice

Regulatory, quality, safety and market-access work across the full product lifecycle.

A point most launch plans miss. Because Greece sits in so many reference baskets, the price you accept in Athens is read by payers well beyond Greece. Sequencing the Greek filing — and deciding whether to use a confidential negotiated agreement rather than a low list price — is a European decision, not a local one.
