Proparco is supporting Biosidus via a “Gender” technical assistance program to raise awareness of violence against women and through training.
Client presentation
Biosidus is an Argentinian family-run business set up in 1983 which develops, manufactures and distributes “biologically similar” drugs (“biosimilars”) in Argentina and in some thirty emerging and developing countries.
A biosimilar is a drug developed using living matter of biological origin – as opposed to traditional pharmacopoeia of chemical origin – and is “similar”, in terms of equivalent quality, efficacy and safety, to its previously developed and marketed reference biological drug. Biological drugs prevent and treat serious, chronic and disabling disorders whose complex and progressive medical need cannot be covered by traditional medicine.
Project description
Proparco has allocated “Gender” technical assistance which involves raising awareness of violence against women and providing leadership training for women managers.
Project impact
The project should train 550 people.
