Interview with Jean-Philippe Duc, Country Manager, Amgen Czech Republic
Mr. Duc, you first worked in the Czech Republic in 1997, as an Oncology Business Unit manager for Pierre Fabre. The ‘90s in this country have been described to us…

Wörwag Pharma is a medium-size family business created in 1965. The company is now operating in 40 countries and distributing products to over 104 international destinations, while managing to maintain the values of a family business. The future goals are determined by the basic philosophy: self-developed products and expertise, and OTC and generic medicines intended to enhance the well-being of patients.
For 40 years Wörwag Pharma stands for competence and expertise in the fields of biofactors and generics. We have established our reputation in Czech Republic and Slovakia as a specialist in the treatment of diabetes and its accompanying disorders.
Biofactors (vitamins and mineral supplements), preparations for polyneuropathy, and generics with excellent cost-benefit ratios: the broad product range of Wörwag Pharma. High quality medication, modern active substances and successful use of the medications in advanced therapeutic concepts in the fields of diabetic accompanying disorders confirm that Wörwag Pharma is an expert partner in science and practice.
Thinking and working globally is not a marketing strategy as far as we are concerned, but a way of living our profession every day – and it is at the same time, a challenge. Our task every day is to overcome long distances and cultural differences. With success!
