In April 2020Sumitomo Pharma (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.ceuticals and SHAPHAR launched a co-marketing cooperation pilot project for non-targeted omni-channel full-format markets of the prescription drug "Almarl" in 13 provinces.

Today, we are here to compliment front-line employees who have made outstanding contributions to the "ALM-CSO" Co-marketing Project, in order to encourage more SHAPHAR employees to devote their time and energy and play their full roles in the project,” said Li Yongzhong. “The contract sales segment has become one of the core business segments of SHAPHAR, and we have confidence in building the contract sales team of SHAPHAR as a benchmark in the industry. In the ever-changing market environment, we will continue to support and invest in contract sales, leverage the overall advantages of SHAPHAR, actively expand the terminal market, and achieve in-depth market coverage of cooperative products.”

 

Surpassing the “RMB 100 million” mark is an important milestone for both cooperating parties in the "ALM-CSO" Co-marketing Project. The project will continue to rely on the nationwide supply chain network of SHAPHAR and patient-centered professional education to ensure that this prescription drug is used for the diagnosis and treatment in the hospital channel while its accessibility will be improved in the out-of-hospital channel, in order to better serve the majority of patients.
