We make the world's most demanded supplies for haemodialysis, which have been registered abroad. We showed the guests from a friendly country the medicines we produce. They are much cheaper than their foreign counterparts. We are ready to help our foreign friends. We can equip clinics, pharmacies, and pharmacy warehouses to provide full-fledged assistance to the population of Zimbabwe and neighbouring countries,” Boris Androsyuk stated.
