Weiguang Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zhongchao, commented, "The registration and listing of foreign drugs in China is an important means to address the clinical needs of patients. With the gradual ease of the pandemic prevention and control policy in China and the superimposed epidemic of Covid-19 and influenza, the demand for related therapeutic drugs is huge. We plan to introduce more batches of oseltamivir phosphate capsules this year."
