The company owns OXYmed, the largest and most modern pharmacy chain in the country, and further firms in the field of pharmaceutics. 500 of the roughly 700 employees work in the pharmacies.

Managing Director Aziza Hudayberdieva visited Germany in 2018 within the framework of the MP, with the aim of finding new products to expand OXYmed\u2019s range, particularly with regard to natural medicines, which are also becoming increasingly popular in Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cBiomedicine and demand for natural medicines are gaining ground in our country too\u201d, says Hudayberdieva. Nika Pharm Servis<\/a> has been cooperating with a German manufacturer of herbal medi\u00adcines, which is primarily known for its natural remedies, since 2015 within the scope of the \u201cPhytothek\u201d (phytophar\u00admacy) project. This is a specifically des\u00adignated area within a pharmacy which specialises in selling herbal medicinal products and providing advice on their use. In Germany, there are more than 900 phyto\u00adpharmacies and business with natural medicinal products is also doing well in Uzbekistan. Nika Pharm Servis sets up five phytopharmacies every year. The personnel for these phytopharmacies is regularly trained by experts in Germany. \u201cWe attach great importance to the pro\u00adfessional competence of our employees and a high-quality range \u2013 and that is why our customers come to us\u201d, says Hudayberdieva. To strengthen the co\u00adoperation with the pharmaceutical man\u00adufacturer, she met with company repre\u00adsentatives in Germany and presented a suggestion regarding the production of medicinal products under licence in Uz\u00adbekistan, which is now awaiting agree\u00adment between the management of the respective firms.<\/p>\n

And an energy tonic that is popular in Germany could soon find its way into the pharmacy network in the largest Central Asian consumer market: The product has developed into a brand name for an entire own range of health-trend items. Hudayberdieva met with the manufac\u00adturer in Germany to discuss the pos\u00adsibilities of exporting to Uzbekistan and also of an exclusive distribution partner\u00adship. Now the first step is an analysis of the top-selling products. \u201cIn Germany calcium and magnesium supplements sell well, but it would be rash to include them in our production line. We must first see what sells well in Russia and Kazakhstan because the market there is more similar to the Uzbek market and we will base our activities on their top sellers\u201d, says Hudayberdieva, describing the firm\u2019s sales strategy.<\/p>\n

\"\"Expansion of Production<\/strong>
\nHudayberdieva also had talks with a pharmaceutical company in Hamburg which manufactures innovative food supplements. They discussed both the import of articles and manufacturing under licence. \u201cThe problem with im\u00adporting is that, unlike medicines, food supplements are subject to high cus\u00adtoms duties and that pushes prices up\u201d, the 38-year-old business manager says. Therefore, Nika Pharm Servis has plans to expand and modernise its production fa\u00adcilities in the future. To that end, Huday\u00adberdieva met with a trading company in Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg. This firm provides advice for the purchase and financing of equipment. Through this firm, Nika Pharm\u2019s management is currently analys\u00ading the purchasing options of packaging machinery and laboratory equipment.<\/p>\n

Growing Pharmacy Network<\/strong>
\nAt the moment, there are 130 OXYmed<\/a> pharmacies in Uzbekistan, of which 90 are in the capital Tashkent alone. More\u00adover, Nika Pharm Servis has also been running franchising pharmacies since 2018 under the Domaschnaja Apteka brand name. In 2019, roughly 10 new pharmacies are to be set under the fran\u00adchising model, particularly in rural re\u00adgions. Consequently, Nika Pharm Servis is contributing to addressing the needs in isolated areas and the country\u2019s small towns, some of which still have consid\u00aderable deficiencies with regard to the provision of healthcare.<\/p>\n
