São Paulo, September 2020 - Eurofarma, a 100% Brazilian-owned pharmaceutical multinational company present in 20 countries, continues to implement humanitarian actions to tackle the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The company has allocated over BRL 1.3 million for the purchase of staple food kits, donated to institutions as suggested by doctors visited by its sales team – a total of 263 healthcare professionals.

History
