Guilin Pharma uses local herbs and innovative R&D to win market share
Artemisia annua, also known as sweet wormwood, may be a common wormwood plant in temperate China, but for Africans suffering from malaria, it can be a life-saving drug, as Guilin Pharmaceutical (Shanghai) Co Ltd proved on Nov 5, 2017 with its groundbreaking export volume.
On that day, the company dispatched 100 million vials of Artesunate for Injection globally, helping more than 20 million severely ill malaria patients, especially those aged under 5 in Africa, regain health.
