Abstract:
The Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis of the Establishment of the University of the Philippines Pharmaceutical Science Service Laboratory (UPPSSL) delves into the critical role of pharmaceutical research and service laboratories in advancing drug development, ensuring patient safety, and fostering healthcare innovation. Through a meticulous examination encompassing a literature review, SWOT analysis and Key Informant Interviews (KII), this study evaluates the internal strengths and weaknesses of proposed services such as Product Development, Pharmacokinetic Studies, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, and Biowaiver Studies. By aligning these services with market demands and regulatory standards, the UPPSSL aims to become a pivotal player in the pharmaceutical research landscape. The validation process through KII ensures that strategic decisions are informed by stakeholder perspectives, enhancing the laboratory's operational efficiency and contribution to the industry.
