Over the years, we have become leaders in cardiovascular diseases, with a wide range of innovative medicines covering hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetes and venous disease.

Our commitment to quality is recognized by scientific societies and physicians who trust our brand and our training programs.

Building on this expertise, we will start our operations in oncology with a first drug against colorectal cancer, and soon with other innovative therapeutic solutions targeting digestive cancers and leukemia.

Our next challenge will be to respond to the growing medical need for cancer diseases, which represent a major health challenge for the African population.
