World-class product

Lee Sun-ouk, right, senior vice president of global marketing at Green Cross Corp., poses with Lee In-ho, deputy minister for trade and investment at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, during a certificate award ceremony for world-class Korean products at the COEX, southern Seoul, Wednesday. The ministry selected the pharmaceutical company’s medicine Hunterase as one of 59 world-class products. Hunterase is the second medicine for Hunter’s syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects males. Its symptoms include developmental delay, skeletal deformities, airway obstruction and eventually death before reaching the age of 20. The company posted more than 10 billion won in annual sales of the product last year, taking over 50 percent of the domestic market. / Courtesy of Green Cross Corp
