The British Generic Manufacturers Association (BGMA) has elected Matthew Salzmann, UK Country Manager at Viatris, as its new Vice-Chair with immediate effect.
He will replace the current chair of the BGMA, Diane DiGangi-Trench, who is the UK country head for Sandoz.
Salzman, who is originally from Australia, has served approximately 1 billion patients worldwide last year as the UK Country Manager at Viatris, a global
pharmaceutical company operating in 165 countries.
In his role as BGMA Vice-Chair, Salzmann would focus on working in partnership with key stakeholders - the NHS, healthcare professionals, policy makers,
clinical societies, patient associations, academia - to ensure access to affordable and sustainable medicines for patients and the NHS.
