ESTEVE RECEIVES TWO AWARDS TO THE 2014 BEST PHARMACY INITIATIVES OF CORREO FARMACÉUTICO

The annual prize awarded by Correo Farmacéutico goes to a new omeprazole formulation in the category of Research, Pharmacology and Products, and to the MAPAfarma project in the category of Pharmaceutical Care and Health Education.
