DKSH and LEO Pharma have entered into an agreement to bring high-quality therapeutic products for dermatology and thrombosis to patients across Asia. This agreement both supports LEO Pharma’s strategy of building a simpler and more competitive organization and DKSH Business Unit Healthcare’s strategic focus of strengthening its regional footprint.
Manila, Philippines, September 30, 2022 – DKSH Business Unit Healthcare, a leading partner for healthcare companies seeking to grow their business in Asia and beyond, has partnered with LEO Pharma to bring high-quality therapeutic products for dermatology and thrombosis to patients across Asia.
Partnering in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, the two companies seek to solidify brand presence, grow market share, and ultimately improve patient health outcomes in the region.
