By strictly adhering to these standards, the company ensures consistently effective, high-quality, and standardized products, essential to gain the trust of patients, physicians, pharmaceutical industries, and other stakeholders in this sector.

"At GreenMed, every stage of the process is meticulously controlled to ensure excellence in quality and safety, which is ensured by state-of-the-art equipment, facilities designed by specialized architecture firms, and built to the most demanding construction standards in the pharmaceutical industry,” highlights Bussy.

Regulation in Uruguay

 

With pioneering legislation, where all uses of cannabis were allowed in 2013, Uruguay has become a regulatory reference for other countries, highlights Leandro Villalba, the company's technical director:

“With regulation, Uruguay can finally define what can and cannot be done within the sector, and this pioneering spirit has served as an example for countries like Canada, South Africa, and the USA itself.”
