What DKSH can do for you Trusted partner for OTC and consumer health companies Consumers in Asia are increasingly encouraged to take the route of self-medication due to increased pressure on government healthcare budgets.

Together with the rising middle class in the region, it is not surprising that over-the-counter and consumer health is one of the fastest growing health segments in Asia.
