"Pfizer is committed to continuing to contribute to the development of the health sector, continuing to share the latest innovations in treatment therapies, research development and enhancement of capabilities for the health community in Indonesia," said Anil Argilla, President Director of PT Pfizer Indonesia.
Pfizer has been serving patients in Indonesia for nearly fifty years and so far the scientific education and professional skills development programs known as Pfizer EduCare have been recognized by Indonesian healthcare professionals. This program is designed to improve the technical skills and soft-skill of health workers such as general practitioners, specialists and pharmacists. Over the past two years, EduCare program has reached more than 13 thousand health workers in Indonesia.

"Pfizer has demonstrated how international pharmaceutical companies collaborate and support medical professional organizations.
