By most accounts, 2019 was another memorable year for Korea’s medical and biopharmaceutical industries. The nation saw cancer patients rushing to pharmacies to buy Fenbendazole, a dog dewormer, for its alleged efficacy in treating cancer while multinational pharmaceutical companies were engulfed in international conflicts with their labor unions.
This has also been a bountiful year for this newspaper as various news outlets paid increasing attention to the in-depth local news that only Korea Biomedical Review could provide.
