Focus on the subject of reasonable valuation. This week, the pharmaceutical biological index fell 1.38%, 0.13 percentage points lower than the CSI 300 index; Since the beginning of 2022, the pharmaceutical industry has fallen by 16.27%, 4.5 percentage points lower than the CSI 300 index.

On April 16, 2022, Jiang Jiandong, member of the academic department of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, reported on the R & D and progress of azvudine in the treatment of covid-19 indications at the China Medical Development Conference. At present, only Pfizer paxlovid has been listed conditionally as a small molecule covid-19 therapeutic drug in China. Pipelines such as Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co.Ltd(688180) vv116, real biological azvudine and Kaifa pharmaceutical prochloramide are in the clinical stage.
