The 18th Western Pharmaceutical Association was held in Boao, Hainan from August 16th to 21st, with the theme of "Fast Transformation, Crossing the New Cycle- Reconstruction of Growth Engine and Evolution of Industrial Ecology". Yudechao, founder, chairman of the board, and CEO of Xinda Biopharmaceutical Group, attended and gave a speech. Yudechao pointed out that the innovative drug industry is currently facing three challenges: in terms of scientific dimension, there needs to be new breakthroughs in original target innovation; in terms of business dimension, high research and development costs, and the contradiction between cost control of innovative drugs and medical insurance is prominent; in terms of global dimension, the median sales of overseas products are low, and internationalization still has a long way to go.
