This has opened up a new possibility to further leverage our fast growing sales in China", says Dr. Joe Jin, the Chief of the Representative Office in Beijing, China.
This approval confirms that Vitrolife brings safe, efficient and certified products into the hands of IVF professionals.
"China is a strategically important market for Vitrolife. There is no doubt that his approval will further strengthen our market position in the country", says Dr. Magnus Nilsson, CEO Vitrolife.
