Bruno Vespa inaugurates the new S&R Farmaceutici training centre

A training centre for doctors, students and patients. Just nine months after its foundation, S&R Farmaceutici has already achieved important success in the field of pharmaceutical research and commercialisation. Now the company based in Bastia Umbra has achieved another goal, with the opening, attended by the journalist and television presenter Bruno Vespa, of a training centre focused above all on its 80 staff members, but also open to doctors, students and patients.
This is the latest development by the company headed by Romolo Rossi, with focus on a tight-knit synergy and continuous dialogue between pharmaceutics, university, doctors and patient associations, with the aim of creating increasingly efficient and effective products that respond to the population’s continuously evolving requirements.
The Chief Executive Officer Mauro Dionigi and General Manager of the company Lucio Leonardi both spoke at the inauguration of the Minerva Hall, located at the company’s site in via dei Pioppi 2. Giuseppe Ettore, director of the complex obstetrics and gynaecology operative unit of the “Garibaldi” hospital in Catania also spoke on occasion of the round table which followed the cutting of the ribbon.
Ettore is the president of the S&R Farmaceutici scientific community “Il tempio di Minerva”, consisting of 14 experts in the field of gynaecology.
Together with urology and diabetology, these are the sectors of specialisation, although not the only ones, of S&R Farmaceutici.
Dionigi declared “This external consultancy body will meet periodically at the new training centre to discuss how best to act with respect to patient needs and how our products are faring on the market”.
Ettore commented how “today marks the beginning of a new initiative to build a bridge between scientific activity in the field of healthcare and professionals, patient and citizen associations and obviously, pharmaceutical companies.
“S&R Farmaceutici is doing the right thing by investing research and innovation, because this is the future of the Country and young people”, Mr. Vespa declared. “We have amazing researcher who unfortunately flee abroad to find their fortune. It wouldn’t be bad for them to be able to work in Italy”.
Leonardi affirmed how “The next steps have been defined in detail. We have already gone ahead with important operations in terms of research, with two start-ups with the University of Perugia, with two brand new products in the field of diagnostics, which this year will reach the clinical phase. But this is only the first step”.
