The import agent of Gleevec back then was Zhongshitong, a partner of Novartis in China. Zhongshitong played a crucial role in the process of introducing Gleevec. Firstly, in terms of drug access, relying on its professional experience in importing medicine and being familiar with various laws and policies, it successfully assisted Novartis in completing the registration and approval process of Gleevec in China, making the drug meet the drug regulatory standards in China. Secondly, in logistics distribution, it established a perfect cold chain logistics system to ensure that Gleevec, a drug with strict requirements for storage conditions, could be safely and stably delivered to major medical institutions. Moreover, at the market promotion level, it worked closely with Novartis to popularize the efficacy and usage methods of Gleevec to doctors and patients, improving the awareness and accessibility of the drug and benefiting more patients.

Generally, an import agent is responsible for many links, such as communicating with manufacturing enterprises and handling various procedures. Zhongshitong should have been the same when introducing Gleevec.
