Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish a fundamental base for hGMP operational systems implementation. Method: The survey was done with a questionnaire developed through consulting specialists, in order to investigate the present state of manpower, facilities and capitalization of private enterprises, and opinions on what the road map for hGMP implementation must include. Results: The results showed that the business scales of related enterprises were relatively small. Education and health monitoring of employees has been done in fair amounts, but a standard must be established. Essential facilities required for herbal product production were present in most cases. Recognition and understanding of hGMP was low. Various opinions on the implementation of hGMP were gathered. Conclusion: Standardized hGMP education programs, plans to modify existing facilities, public announcements and advertisement of the system, and public assistance funds and tax privileges are needed for the successful implementation of the hGMP operational system.
