This integrated strategy continues to guide our efforts to generate sustainable, balanced top-and-bottom-line growth and value creation.”

“We continue to navigate the evolving market dynamics with resilience and explore innovative solutions to ensure our trusted, quality brands remain the preferred choice for healthcare professionals and consumers alike”, he added.
