Chapter 235 The Philippines seeks medical cooperation
A transport plane took off from the airport, loaded with pesticides, and flew to different countries.

The global locust plague that has been raging for several months is about to enter the countdown.

Another benefit brought by this locust plague to Sanqing is its popularity. For a while, the name Sanqing was known to everyone in the third world countries.

Sanqing's medicines have always taken the high-end route overseas, mainly targeting the markets in Western countries, and at the same time radiating to East Asian countries. It has not opened up markets in the Philippines and Central Asia for the time being, and its popularity is not high.

Generally, when Chinese people go abroad, they will carry Sanqing’s commonly used medicines in their medical bags.

Therefore, most Filipinos have only heard that Sanqing's medicine is very useful from the Chinese population, but they have never used it themselves and cannot afford it.

Other than that, only a few local tyrants in the Middle East had heard of Sanqing's name and experienced the miraculous efficacy of Sanqing's medicine when they went to Eagle Country and Europa for medical treatment.

Now, when countries are purchasing Sanqing's insecticides to eliminate the locust plague.

No matter in the small country of the Philippines, or in poor countries such as Pakistan and Persia, the name of the Sanqing has already been heard, and it has become the most mentioned name.

These countries have seen the miraculous effect of Sanqing pesticides, and heard that this is just the most inconspicuous sideline of Sanqing, and they suddenly became very curious.

And when they learned about Sanqing's achievements in medicine, they were even more dumbfounded and shocked.

It turned out that such a miraculous pesticide was nothing to Sanqing.

Anti-cancer drugs, AD specific drugs, genetic drugs, which one is not more miraculous than pesticides, more technical, and more able to bring the dead back to life?

People are born, old, sick, and die. Facing a maker of miraculous medicine who masters the mysteries of life, yearning spontaneously arises in their hearts.

The same idea flashed through the minds of these Philippine African Union officials.

Be sure to introduce Sanqing's magic medicine!
Although the people in the Philippines are very poor, the upper classes in various countries are quite rich, and they can fully afford the medicines of Sanqing.

What's more, the price of Sanqing's drugs is a conscience price compared with the sky-high prices of drugs from Yingguo Pharmaceutical Company.

As for the underprivileged people, they have free medicines provided by charities like the World Health Organization.

For a long time, the World Health Organization, the Global Fund, the football league, and some international charities have been keen to promote the humanitarian spirit in the Philippines, so that patients in dire straits can take medicine.

They use their deep pockets to run the business, buying medicines around the world and donating them to those in need for free.

For example, in the procurement of antimalarial drugs in the Philippines, 70% comes from the funds of international organizations and institutions, which is also a major feature of the Philippine pharmaceutical market.

In this regard, these international organizations are responsible. They want to use good medicine for the purpose of saving lives and healing the wounded.

So what kind of medicine is a good medicine?
In the minds of Westerners, only medicines registered and marketed in Western countries can be regarded as good medicines, the real medicines of conscience, safe medicines, and they can rest assured when they are sent out.

However, these medicines have a characteristic, expensive, very expensive.

Such an expensive original drug, based on a patient unit of hundreds of millions of people, no amount of money is enough to fill it!

Since expensive drugs cannot be used, generic drugs can only be used.

However, the profits of generic drugs are too low, and Western pharmaceutical companies are generally unwilling to do so, and they are also unwilling to lower drug prices.

After all, the ultimate goal of pharmaceutical companies is to make money. If they don’t make enough money, how can they have money for charity?

Since Western pharmaceutical companies are unwilling to make generic drugs, this great task falls on the heads of the third world countries, and the main strengths in this area are Tianzhu and Huaxia.

The WHO has introduced a certification called PQ, which uses their experts to review the purchased generic drugs.

Only when the safety, effectiveness and quality of medicines reach the level of original Western medicines, can they be considered good medicines and can be purchased and donated.If you can't reach it, I'm sorry, no matter how good you brag, I won't bird you.

PQ certification is very similar to drug registration, but there is one biggest difference: not all drugs are accepted by WHO.

They generally only accept drugs that are urgently needed by Afila patients and are aimed at high mortality.

Drugs that are not on their demand list will not be accepted, let alone purchased, no matter how effective they are.

In this regard, Tianzhu pharmaceutical companies have unique advantages. They have deployed in the Philippines early to open up the market. Tianzhu's generic drug industry is also very developed. Therefore, in the entire pharmaceutical ecology of the Philippines, Tianzhu people are everywhere and have formed The whole industry layout has been established.

Taking Kenya as an example, most of the local pharmaceutical factories, pharmaceutical companies, importers, and distributors are controlled by Tianzhu people.

In the WHO's procurement list, Tianzhu's generic drugs also accounted for the bulk, accounting for as high as 65%, while Huaxia only accounted for 8%.

Although Huaxia is also a big country of generic drugs, it has exported to the Philippines for many years, and some pharmaceutical companies even invest and build factories locally, but they have not become industry giants, so they lack a strong brand advantage.

As a result, homogeneous non-branded generic drugs can easily fall into vicious price competition in the Philippines, leading to serious involution.

However, this situation is expected to be broken by Sanqing.

Ethiopia, Philippine Union Headquarters Center.

Jemore led the officials of the Philippine Medical Bureau to express a warm welcome to the Sanqing team who came from afar.

The main visitor this time was Sun Chengren, supplemented by Gu Xian, and some other employees.

The main purpose of their trip is to explore the third world market, and then set up branches in the Philippines and Central Asia.

Jemore signed a contract with Sun Chengren last time, and the relationship is relatively close, so this time he came here to introduce the two parties.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they quickly entered the topic.

"We are very interested in Sanqing's original research drugs. Anti-cancer drugs, painkillers, and special drugs for Alzheimer's disease are the main import targets. In addition, we know that Sanqing is in the field of genetic medicine. The strength is one of the best, do you know if there is a gene drug for sickle cell anemia?"

Immediately, an official from the Ministry of Health of Ethiopia asked.

Sickle cell anemia is a monogenic genetic disease that is highly prevalent in the Philippines and is mainly related to the prevalence of malaria there.

Sun Chengren smiled and said confidently: "Of course, we have developed several gene drugs for the treatment of single-gene genetic diseases. The research and development of gene drugs for sickle cell anemia is underway, and I believe it will be available soon." When it comes out, it will be able to be exported to your country.”

Jemore felt excited. This genetic disease is quite common in the Philippines, and its fatality rate is also very high. Only 14% of people can live to the age of 30, even high-ranking dignitaries cannot avoid it.

His newborn son has this disease. If Sanqing can develop a gene drug for the disease, no matter how expensive the price is, he is willing to pay.

"We noticed that Sanqing's original drug prices are relatively expensive, but our country is relatively short of supplies. I don't know how much room there is for price reduction?"

Sun Chengren's face turned serious, and the main event was coming, but Wei Kang had already given instructions not to lower the price too much, so he was already prepared.

"These drugs are new drugs that have just been developed. The company is eager to recover the cost. I am afraid that there is not much room for price reduction in a short period of time, and we also need to earn money for the research and development of other new drugs, such as genetic drugs for sickle cell anemia. Anyway..."

He had already noticed the other party's concern about genetic medicines, so he increased his bargaining chips in this regard. After some eloquent discussions, the two parties reached an agreement on the price.

The anti-cancer drugs, these original research drugs, have not dropped much, but these drugs are not for ordinary Filipinos. Only the powerful and rich in the Philippines can afford this price.

So the other party did not insist too much on this aspect. After all, corruption is serious in Philippines, and high-ranking officials are not short of money.

And they also count on Sanqing to develop a gene drug as soon as possible, so as to save relatives and friends suffering from sickle cell anemia.

Next is the generic drug business, which has a wide audience, and the price must be cut a lot so that the poor can afford it.

"The drugs we need are mainly anti-malarial drugs, anti-AIDS drugs, antibiotics, etc. Generic drugs must be cheap enough and effective. Here is a list of the drugs we need..."

Gu Xian nodded while listening, and at the same time wrote down the list of generic drugs the other party needed in his notebook.

These drugs have long passed the patent period, and for Sanqing, it is not difficult to imitate them.

The only question is how to make it cheap enough and still make a profit.

At present, Sanqing’s generic drugs are all produced by itself, and the quality is high, but the profit is meager. Many rare drugs are even sold at a loss, just to ensure that domestic patients have medicines available.

This can be maintained when the sales volume is not large. If the sales volume increases greatly, or even exports, the self-produced drugs will obviously not be able to meet the demand.

The Philippines has a population of more than one billion. This is a huge potential market, and there is a great demand for generic drugs.

It was clear that a new solution had to be sought.

For example, outsourcing the production of generic drugs to domestic foundries.

While meditating, Gu Xian made gestures on the paper.

On the clean white paper, several circles were drawn on the six characters of "generic drug foundry", which were heavily marked.
