Comments of the Healthcare Supply Chain Association (HSCA) to FDA on Facilitating Competition and Innovation in the Biological Products Marketplace
On behalf of the Healthcare Supply Chain Association (HSCA), thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) “Facilitating Competition and Innovation in the Biological Products Marketplace.”
