    Over in Istanbul, we recently held the 3rd edition of our ‘Train the Trainer’ Enterozone Summit. In this two-day event, healthcare professionals from across Türkiye, Egypt, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and South Africa were brought together to share their knowledge of digestive health, with a view to strengthen the quality of care and advice they can provide. Covering a wide range of topics from the benefits of probiotics, to looking after gut health, attendees took part in a mix of presentations, clinical insight sessions, expert speeches and Q&A sessions. By facilitating this exchange of expertise and guidance, the summit contributed to our mission of simplifying self-care, reducing barriers to healthcare and bringing health to the hands of our consumers. Check out some of the highlights below. ⬇️ #Opella #HealthInYourHands Ségolène de Marsac Feirouz Khessairi Hany Ramzy Rashmi Gupta Amal Fathy Selcan Özsezer R.Murali Rao Reham Medhat

    ‘Hola México’ was the cry for members of our leadership team as they inaugurated our new local offices and visited the team at our Ocoyoacac manufacturing site. Also on the agenda was hosting a regional town hall and meeting local customers face to face to understand what they need and expect from Opella. By knowing what customers want, we can bring it to them…simply. One special moment came from the leadership team who shared their wishes for Opella Mexico in the coming years…a bright future is on the cards!  Check out some of the team in action. 👇 #Opella #HealthInYourHands Julie Van Ongevalle Alberto Hernandez Matthieu BRUCKER Rafik Amrane Paul Martingell MBA, FCA Amaury Barbier Abdelkrim YAHIAOUI Matias Caride Alfonso Martinez

    Opella Brazil rocked its first annual convention, bringing together 330 employees from across the business.

    🐍The Snake is said to be a symbol of wisdom in Vietnamese culture, often associated with transformation. So, what better timing to host the opening ceremony of the Opella Vietnam office than under the backdrop of the new Lunar Year of the Snake! Located in Ho Chi Minh City, the office is aptly named 'La Nha,' meaning ‘home’, reflecting its design as a premier workspace that nurtures collaboration and innovation. On opening day, the team immersed themselves in traditional Tet - Lunar New Year - festivities, complete with the exchange of Lucky Envelopes filled with heartfelt wishes, spreading joy and optimism for the year ahead. Catch a glimpse of La Nha in the video. 👇 #Opella #HealthInYourHands #LifeAtOpella

    We can’t make self-care radically simple on our own. It is only by collaborating with our industry partners that we can make meaningful change… as they say, two heads are better than one. Our new Frankfurt office recently hosted 2025’ s first meeting of the Market and Consumer Healthcare Committee for 2025, chaired by our Germany General Manager, Theresa von Fugler. The German Association Pharma Deutschland, alongside three pharmacists, were in the Aqua Tower to take stock of the current situation and plan for the year ahead. Pharmacists are key to bringing health in the hands of communities – they provide safe access to medicine, expert guidance and essential healthcare services. We must also remember the pharmacies can be big or small, rural or urban. A one size fits all approach won’t work. As an industry, we must continue to ensure pharmacies have the resources to continue delivering the care that their patients rely upon. Want to know more?

    To enable our colleagues to foster collaboration and spark innovation, we’ve unveiled two brand new office spaces in the Philippines and South Korea. Our new co-working office space in the Philippines is based in the world's first EDGE Zero Carbon certified building - the Compass office at ARTHALAND Century Pacific Tower. Then across the water in South Korea, the team came together to hold a traditional Gosa ceremony for our Seoul office opening. This Korean ritual is often performed during the opening of a new office to pray for good luck, prosperity, and safety. Elements of the ceremony included: ·      Placing money in a pig’s mouth to seek financial success for the business. ·      Offering and distributing rice cakes to participants after the ceremony to share luck and blessings. ·      Bowing three times to wish for stability and success in the new endeavour. ·      Offering alcohol to the spirits to pay respect and invite blessings. These new offices will be centers where courageous, creative ideas can flourish, generating new ways we can bring health into more hands. Check out some pictures from the new office openings below 👇 #Opella #LifeatOpella #HealthInYourHands

    Viva Las Vegas! 🎲 No, we’re not talking about the casinos. Last week, we were in Vegas for the world’s biggest tech event, #CES 2025. Our Global Head of R&D and Innovation, Jonathan Reeves was on the ground to talk about the connection between healthcare and technology during the panel session: ‘The Rise of Personalized Medicine: Genomics and Beyond’. Healthcare technologies – such as telemedicine platforms, home diagnostic tools and healthcare apps – are important to us because they enable more people to take their health into their own hands. Not only do they reduce the burden on strained healthcare systems around the world, but they also make self-care simpler for our consumers. We’re all about making things simple at Opella, using credible science to innovate products that consumers can access and, crucially, understand.    The future of self-care is bright. Thank you, Jonathan, for representing Opella on this panel! #Opella #HealthInYourHands #CES2025
