Director General, professor Hannes Wahlroos resigned

Professor Hannes Wahlroos has resigned from his position as Director General of the National Agency for Medicines (NAM). He left his official note today to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.

“After serving the Finnish Government for 30 years in this sector and acting as the Head of the NAM for 16 years this is the right moment to transfer the responsibility. The Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health will execute plans to reorganise and relocate the pharmaceutical administration in Finland.”

“During these years I have experienced a lot in the EU, EMEA and HMA circles. I am sure the future pharmaceutical regulatory framework in Europe will be even stronger and operate for the benefit of European citizens and stakeholders. The new Finnish pharmaceutical administration will also meet the national and European challenges with new goals and strengths.”

“I face the future with an open mind and will now be available for new tasks and challenges.”
