Key strategic elements of this leadership strategy include portfolio extension and management, product differentiation, gaining entry into key institutions, new product development and speedy roll-out-all of this with the focus to provide our customers with safe, convenient and affordable drugs.
Speed to market, together with cost competitiveness remains one of our key objectives with regard to product development and product launch. This is being achieved by close internal coordination between concerned departments within the Company, like Innovation & Development (I&D), Intellectual Property, Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs and others.
Experience gained in generic Oncology drug manufacturing & marketing gives us the competitive advantage for some of the core cytotoxics that are used worldwide.
