Citing stats from the FDA on growing drug shortages, Michael Raya of service provider West-Ward is taking action. "We see this as a major opportunity," he says in a statement. The Hikma Pharmaceuticals subsidiary recently acquired Baxter's multi-source injectables business, including a sterile injectable facility. Injectables are among the most common of drugs in short supply. Raya says he envisions West-Ward--with its operations versatility, solid compliance record and network of U.S. and European facilities--as "one of the leading global providers of contract dosage form development and manufacturing services."
