Additionally, we have more than 100 independently developed innovative candidates in the pipeline and more than 400 clinical trials being conducted globally. Our approach ensures a virtuous cycle in which each batch of approved drugs is immediately followed by another in clinical trials and yet another in the pipeline.

At present, our pharmaceutical products have entered more than 40 countries and regions, and we are actively accelerating our expansion into global markets, with a particular focus on emerging ones.
