AstraZeneca Vietnam Chairman and General Director Nitin Kapoor has been bestowed with the Friendship Medal by the President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
This prestigious accolade was announced by the Vietnamese Ambassador to the UK Nguyen Hoang Long, adding to the festive cheer of the Vietnam-UK Friendship Year 2023.
Ambassador Nguyen Hoang Long praised Kapoor's contributions to promoting health care and sustainable development in Vietnam since he assumed the leadership role at AstraZeneca Vietnam in 2018.
The Ambassador appreciated Kapoor's strong commitment to the fields of medical innovation, strengthening the sustainability and resilience of the health system, as well as his proactive response to climate change.
AstraZeneca also plays an important role in technology transfer activities, marked by progress in technology transfer registration to promote the advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in the country.
The Friendship Medal not only honors Kapoor's significant contributions but also affirms AstraZeneca's influential role in Vietnam's healthcare, recognized by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Health for exemplary contributions to vaccine diplomacy, cancer treatment, the Covid-19 response, and patient support.
The company's repeated accolades from international business communities and recognition as one of Vietnam's Top 100 Best Places To Work further attest to its commitment to healthcare excellence.
