Our range includes both generic and branded generic products. Shalina Healthcare also offers a range of consumer products in the hygiene segment, most notable with our brand Germol. Our reputation as reliable manufacturers and distributors of healthcare products is reinforced every time we launch a new product into the market. It may be the first time the drug has been launched in the remote regions that we serve and we support this with regular continuing medical education campaigns for the doctors and nurses. Over the last thirty years, Shalina's reputation as a quality healthcare provider in Africa has been well accepted by the medical community, who has no hesitation in prescribing Shalina products to their patients. We work closely with the local communities to help people live longer and healthier lives. None of this would be possible without the immense contribution of our dedicated employees.
