What Association of Russian Pharmaceutical Manufacturers does

The Association of Russian Pharmaceutical Manufacturers (ARFP / Ассоциация Российских фармацевтических производителей) is a non-profit professional association founded in 2002 and headquartered in Moscow at Myasnitskaya Street, 22c1. It represents the interests of Russian pharmaceutical manufacturers before federal regulatory authorities — including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Roszdravnadzor, and the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) — and facilitates dialogue on drug pricing, registration, procurement, import substitution, localization, and supply security. ARFP's General Director, Viktor Dmitriev, additionally serves as Chairman of the Public Council under Roszdravnadzor and as Chairman of the Russian-Uzbek Business Council Commission on Healthcare, embedding the association directly into the regulatory apparatus.

ARFP's core products and services are organized around three pillars: (i) the bimonthly Pharmaceutical Industry magazine (Фармацевтическая промышленность), an information and analytical publication distributed since 2006 with a circulation of 2,000 copies; (ii) industry events, including the annual Russian Pharmaceutical Forum named after N.A. Semashko (500+ participants in its 33rd edition) and the Partnering conference 'Medicines of Russia — to Interdisciplinary Dialogue', held in Kaliningrad and co-organized with regional health ministries and pharmacovigilance associations; and (iii) membership services providing advocacy, networking, and regulatory representation to Russian drug manufacturers such as Pharmstandard, Gerofarm, Akrikhin, and Advanced Pharma. Underlying communications are delivered through arfp.ru, a Telegram channel, press releases, and earned media coverage (e.g., РБК.ТВ interviews).

ARFP operates as a non-profit association incorporated under Russian law and is funded through membership fees, event revenues, and magazine subscriptions; commercial pricing is not applicable. The association holds memberships in the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation (CCI/ТПП), and was ranked #1 in the 'Professional Non-Commercial Associations and Associations' category of FARMVESTNIK's Pharmaceutical Market Influence Rating 2025.
