- During the April 2015 earthquake in Nepal, where over 9000 people were killed and more than 22,000 people were seriously injured, ASIAN not only distributed free medicine worth more than 80 lakh, but also helped staff who suffered damage, to rebuild their homes and recoup their lives. ASIAN, along with many pharmaceutical companies, as a part of APPON (Association of Pharmaceuticals Producers of Nepal), participated in the earthquake relief program that was organised by FNCCI. For nearly a month, almost all the staff from the manufacturing/production unit and all the staff from marketing were on the ground helping to distribute medical emergency materials.
