MINSK, 18 December (BelTA) – The Belarusian-Dutch pharmaceutical company OOO Pharmland intends to implement two projects with a Syrian company, BelTA learned from Pharmland Press Secretary Olga Tomashevskaya after an international business delegation visited the Belarusian company.
The delegation intended to get familiar with the Belarusian company's experience of producing preparations out of blood plasma in addition to discussing cooperation opportunities. A preliminary agreement on implementing two projects in Syria was reached.
In particular, the Syrian company Unipharma Tech is interested in getting the Belarusian company to assist with the construction of plasma centers in Syria.

The possibility of initial plasmapheresis at Pharmland's enterprise in Nesvizh is under consideration. “We have signed an agreement of intent to cooperate in these spheres. We can also team up for other projects in Syria,” Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pharmland Company Ivan Logovoi said.
