Life and Health
Business Overview
SIIC began its venture into the life and health sector in 1995. In 2008, under a decision by the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and government, the Group took control of and restructured SPG. In 2010, Shanghai Industry Pharmaceutical Investment Holding Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of SIIC, restructured with Shanghai Pharma, leading to the establishment of a new Shanghai Pharma as a publicly listed entity. In 2011, Shanghai Pharma completed its H-share issuance in Hong Kong, making it the first pharmaceutical company in China to be listed in both the A-share and H-share markets. After nearly 30 years of development, SIIC has created a "five-in-one" healthcare and pharmaceutical industry structure that includes Shanghai Pharma, Shanghai Healthcare Capital (SHC), TJ Pharma, the Shanghai Biopharmaceutical Innovation Center(SH-INNO), and SIIC Medical Services. Today, SIIC is striving to become the "chain-chief enterprise" in Shanghai's biopharmaceutical industry, working to build a collaborative innovation ecosystem in biomedicine that integrates production, education, research, healthcare, and investment.
