STADA has a long lasting history of selling pharmaceutical products into the Philippines, formerly through Croma Medic Inc. which was required by STADA in [early 2000] and recently renamed into STADA Philippines.

“After having formally launched STADA Philippines, we are now fully enabled to execute our growth ambitions in this market as well. The acquisition of FERN will help us to succeed. The acquisition of these products is in line with our strategy to strengthen our portfolio with well-established consumer healthcare brands and also expand in selected emerging markets”, states STADA CEO Peter Goldschmidt.

“STADA has been helping people by making high quality products. That is why STADA is always on the lookout for acquisitions and partnerships. With the acquisition of these established brands, it will further STADA’s vision to be a trusted partner that provides high-quality, holistic care for the people. With both STADA and FERN carrying heritage, we will be able to provide better health for Filipinos“, declares STADA Asia Pacific Managing Director Gary Clark.

Sharmaine Abarientos, General Manager of STADA Philippines, adds: “FERN has not only an established brand heritage, but also a complete range for adults as well as for the pediatric application. With FERN in our portfolio, we will establish a strong consumer healthcare platform to launch other quality medicines as well and provide better health for all Filipinos. With our successful portfolio expansion activities, we are able to offer quality medicines at reasonable prices, across all segments of healthcare; specialty, generics and consumer health.”

Oilatum’s ProtectKNOWLogy Bath Time Summit Empowered Mothers to Show Their Love Through Healthy Skin

The ever-changing weather makes it quite a challenge for us to take care of our little one’s skin. The cold weather makes their skin dry while too much heat causes sun damage. We cannot control the weather, but we can control what we put on our children’s skin.

Oilatum, a globally trusted skin care brand, has recently launched ProtectKnowlogy Bath Time Summit to empower mothers like me to show their love through healthy skin. This summit is part of STADA’s game plan to help improve healthcare in the Philippines by providing quality products to the Filipinos such as Oilatum.

“With Oilatum, we believe that high quality skin care for toddlers is within reach. We know this would be great news to Filipino moms, and, as the brand promise says, another amazing way to show their love to their child” shared Mr. Gary Clark, APAC Regional Head of STADA.

Held last February 6, Thursday at Shangri-la The Fort in Taguig, it was a fun learning event for moms on keeping their kids’ skin healthy! It was also intended to help kids build their confidence by having soft, smooth, and healthy skin.

We learned more about skincare and its effects to children through the guest dermatologist and psychiatrist. Oilatum invited Dr. Wilsie Salas-Walinsundin , a pediatric dermatologist and she discussed common pediatric skin conditions and what could be done to avoid and treat them. Dr.Antonio Sision on the other hand, shared his expertise on the psychiatric effects of skin problems on children and maternal mental health.

Oilatum’s ProtectKnowlogy Bath Time Summit is definitely a success! We can’t wait for the next one!
