Messengers visited top pharmaceutical enterprise, to discover the ongoing role of TCM in the modern world

The Fortune Global Forum 2017 is being held in Guangzhou from Dec 6 to 8. To promote the forum, the organizers invited both a local and international audience to visit a number of the Global 500 enterprises, and become the “messengers” for the forum.

Most recently on August 20, these messengers gained a chance to visit the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holdings, a member of the Global 500 and China’s biggest pharmaceutical group.

During the event, they were introduced to a variety of medicinal plants in the Shennong Caotang, the enterprise’ Chinese medicine museum, and participated in a seminar held by enterprise professionals, to witness some of the innovation taking place in this heritage brand.

The messengers had also written letters to express their understanding of the significance of the pharmaceutical industry and their hopes to its future development. “I felt heartbroken when I discovered my grandpa had contracted Alzheimer's Disease and the disease caused him stop recognizing me,” wrote Tang Yizhe in his letter, “I know that Guangzhou Phar. Holdings is now developing some of the world’s most advanced treatments, and I hope they could develop some drugs to effective against such cruel diseases.”

In fact, Guangzhou Phar. Holdings has achieved substantial progress in invigorating the brand.

Vinorelbine Tartrate, an anti-tumor medicine developed by the company, was granted the certificate of suitability to monograph by the European Pharmacopeia (CEP) in June this year. The certificate is one of the drug certifications that has the highest threshold to entry worldwide, and having been awarded this certification, it will allow the medicine to enter the European market.

“Chinese medicine is a vital component of Guangzhou’s culture,” said Li Chuyuan, Chairman of the Guangzhou Phar. Holdings, “and the Fortune Global Forum provides a precious opportunity to bring Guangzhou to the world stage. We will give full support to the forum and help promote Guangzhou and its unique culture.”

Guangzhou Phar. Holding will help organize a sub-forum during the upcoming 2017 Fortune Global Forum. With the theme of “The Future of Healthcare”, the sub-forum will be a significant platform to showcase Guangzhou and its bio-medicine industry.
