【20 Dec 2019, Hong Kong】 Tridem Pharma Kenya Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Tridem Kenya”) opened for business in Kenya’s capital city Nairobi on 13 December 2019, witnessed by more than 20 guests and nearly 50 staff members from China, France and Africa. It is the first investment project in Africa by Tridem Pharma, a French pharmaceutical distributor that is an overseas member enterprise of Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd (“Fosun Pharma” or “Group”; Stock Code: 600196.SH, 02196.HK) since 2017. The launch of Tridem Kenya is also an important step of Fosun Pharma’s African Strategies 2.0.

In 2019, Fosun Pharma integrated the African businesses of its subsidiary Guilin Pharma and Tridem Pharma to commence through the new Tridem Pharma to provide one-stop third-party services for pharmaceutical and healthcare groups to access the Africa market, which include drug registration, imported medicine distribution, pharmaceutical marketing and drug safety warnings. 

The newly integrated platform includes a business team of over 800 local people in Africa, a sales network covering 35 African countries and regions, and 6 subsidiaries in Nigeria in Western Africa, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Senegal and Tanzania in East Africa. The recently established Tridem Kenya is Fosun Pharma’s second subsidiary in Eastern Africa after its first one in Tanzania.

In the future, Tridem Kenya will implement Fosun Pharma’s development concepts for its African business and build itself to be a leading business player for pharmaceutical and healthcare products in Kenya. The new Tridem Pharma will also further consolidate its business network in Africa and actively expand its upstream and downstream clienteles while extending its business to Northern Africa and the Middle East to become one of the most trustworthy partners in the region for sales and marketing of pharmaceuticals and healthcare products from the world over.
