GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is a world leading, research-based pharmaceutical company that has sustained growth in a crucial and fiercely competitive sector through its extraordinary skills and resources.
GSK Pakistan Limited was created through the merger of Smith Kline & French of Pakistan Limited, Beecham Pakistan Private Limited and Glaxo Wellcome Pakistan Limited in 2002.
As a leading international pharmaceutical company we make a real difference to global healthcare and specifically to the developing world. We believe this is both an ethical imperative and key to business success. Companies that respond sensitively and with commitment by changing their business practices to address such challenges will be the leaders of the future.
GSK Pakistan operates mainly in two industry segments: Pharmaceuticals (prescription drugs and vaccines) and consumer healthcare (over-the-counter-medicines, oral care and nutritional care) with an overall 12% share in the Pakistani Pharma market.
GSK leads the industry in value and prescription market shares. We are proud of our consistency and stability in sales, profits and growth. Some of our key brands include Augmentin, Panadol, Seretide, Betnovate, Zantac and Calpol in medicine and renowned consumer healthcare brands include Horlicks, Aquafresh, Macleans and ENO.
In addition, we are also deeply involved with our communities and are the largest corporate donors to the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD). We consider it our responsibility to nurture the environment we operate in and persevere to extend our support to our community in every possible way. GSK participates in year round charitable activities which include organising medical camps, supporting welfare organisations and donating to/sponsoring various developmental concerns and hospitals. Furthermore, GSK maintains a strong partnership with a non-government organisation called Concern for Children which is also extremely involved in the design, implementation and replication of models for the sustainable development of children with specific emphasis on primary healthcare and education. We are also in partnership with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to provide health aid to Afghan refugees.
