medicine is for the people. For over 150 years, modern medicines have saved and improved the lives of millions of people all over the world, preventing or curing previously incurable diseases. In the 19 sixties, the unique contribution by the research based pharmaceutical industry gained worldwide recognition. When humans first set foot on the moon, they brought along innovative medicine as part of their first aid Self Medication kit. At around the same time, the Hong Kong Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry was founded. H K A. P I is one of the earliest associations in the world formed by R and D based pharma companies. In the 19 seventies, H K A. P I and its members adopted the first edition of the Code of Practise. Now in its 18th edition.

K P I and its members adopted the first edition of the Code of Practise, now in its 18th edition. The code has been systematically updated in order to be responsive to the expectation of society. In the 19 nineties, H. K. A. P I worked closely with the Department of Health and Medical Associations as well as the newly established Hospital authority to improve the health care system. During the 2003 SARS crisis, the H K A.
