Established in May, Hupan Pharmaceutical offers a range of services including pharmaceutical distribution and has verticals in healthcare technology support and brand promotion.

Hupan has recently expanded its offerings to include refrigerated and frozen pharmaceuticals, peptide hormones, and other essential medications.
The company has partnerships in place with various pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare institutions, servicing 15 major hospitals in Wuhan, such as the Sinopharm Group Hubei, a subsidiary of the Sinopharm Group.
With expertise in clinical supply for antibiotics, large-volume infusions, oncology and aesthetic medicine, Hupan is equipped to serve a diverse array of healthcare providers throughout Hubei province.
