As a driving force in China’s “internet + healthcare” industry, JD Health reached a number of cooperation agreements with global pharmaceutical firms at the 3rd China International Import Expo (CIIE) held from Nov. 5-10 in Shanghai.

Enlin Jin, general manager of JD Health’s pharmaceutical department and head of strategy and investment, said at CIIE that as the global healthcare industry has seen explosive growth in 2020, China’s strong economic recovery and development in digitalization promises even greater space for the industry’s continued growth. JD Health will continue to give full play of its own capacities (and that of its ecosystem) to promote the development of integrated healthcare services both online and offline, joining hands with more and more partners to provide better healthcare products and services to the Chinese people, and support China’s healthcare industry to become more intelligent and digitalized.

JD Pharmacy, JD.com’s online pharmaceutical retail platform, has been the platform of choice for many global brands to launch new medicines online. During the CIIE, JD Health and Pfizer joined hands to launch STAQUIS (舒坦明), a crisaborole ointment for atopic dermatitis. STAQUIS is the first and only non-steroidal topical phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor approved on the Chinese market. Its debut on JD Pharmacy provides a trusted and convenient channel for many adults and children who are in need of this specific treatment.
