FarmaMondo partners for the first time with an innovator seeking to establish a Managed Access Program to serve unmet Named Patient  needs.

With the introduction of the internet FarmaMondo gains wide recognition as a major brand providing access to Swiss medicines. Through a simple web page offering access to medicines FarmaMondo becomes the supply partner of many healthcare providers in Europe and Asia.

Mr. Bernasconi decides to expand the export activity and establishes a Swiss holding company – FarmaMondo SA is born. Mr. Bernasconi choses a brand name that reflects his vision of bringing pharmaceuticals access to international level. Farmacia Centrale remains a daughter company of FarmaMondo SA, focused on local community only.

Mr. Bernasconi, a 3 rd generation of the Bernasconi family and a young pharmacist educated in Zurich, takes over the management of Farmacia Centrale.

The swiss pharmaceutical market has evolved during the 20 th century to become one of most advanced globally and consequently cross border demand for Swiss therapies came from the nearby Italian patients and doctors. Farmacia Centrale developed cross border supply serving unmet needs from Italy and other nearby countries.

Farmacia Centrale, the roots of the current FarmaMondo group, was established as a private community pharmacy at the heart of the small Swiss border town of Chiasso. The Bernasconi Family was operating the pharmacy and serving the local needs of the few thousands of local habitants.
