In a message from Executive Director Professor John Lim, CoRE is portrayed as having evolved from a bold concept into a trusted hub that unites regulators, policymakers, industry, and academia to advance regulatory science and health policy for the public good. The organisation emphasises the strength of its partnerships and the dedication of its team, which collectively drive leadership in shaping regulatory frameworks, fortifying systems, and fostering innovation to deliver tangible health benefits across Asia and beyond.

The organisation’s impact is tracked across education, policy influence, thought leadership, and innovation. Highlights include more than 200 graduate-level certificate programmes in regulating pharmaceuticals and medical technology, a global network of faculty, over 14,000 participants since 2014, and broad collaboration with local, regional, and international partners. The activity slate exceeds 70 think-tank events, ranging from focus groups and roundtables to seminars and conferences. (Page 4)
CoRE’s people and mission are built around a threefold focus: education, think-tank initiatives, and thought leadership. The centre offers capacity-building programmes delivered by leading international experts, provides evidence-based insights to inform decision-making, and acts as a trusted advisory partner through a robust, global network. This integrated approach aims to elevate regulatory capability and scientific excellence across health systems and services in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. (Pages 6–7)
