As the exclusive commercial partner and distributor of Biocodex laboratory products in Cambodia, the commercial team from PPM was invited to take part in a major international scientific symposium organized in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This event highlighted Biocodex’s strong commitment to promoting women’s health in Asia.

Organized by Biocodex Global, the symposium titled “The Link Between Vaginal Microbiome and Women's Reproductive Health” brought together around one hundred physicians, distributors, and industry leaders. Experts in gynecology from Italy and Vietnam presented the latest scientific advancements on the vaginal microbiome and its impact on reproductive health.

Tech Symo, local commercial director, accompanied by colleagues from the marketing and communication departments and two young Cambodian influencers, had the honor of representing PPM at this regional gathering. Their presence illustrated the recognized success of the Saforelle brand, a reference within Biocodex’s global network. “The event was a valuable opportunity to amplify the exchange of knowledge and experiences, and to strengthen cooperation between women’s health stakeholders across Asia,” said Tech Symo.

During the symposium’s opening, Mr. David Fontana, Biocodex Managing Director in Vietnam and APAC Regional Director, recalled the historic importance of the bond between Biocodex and Vietnam—a country where a key molecule of the group was discovered a century ago. He also emphasized the symbolism of the timing: the symposium was held on the eve of Vietnamese Women's National Day, an ideal time to reaffirm the group’s scientific and human commitments.

“This scientific meeting enabled not just the sharing of the latest insights on intimate care, probiotics, and personal well-being, but also networking among regional marketing teams, international distributors, and Biocodex executives. This synergy aims to enrich the range of products dedicated to women’s health, train health professionals, and reinforce Saforelle’s reputation as a trusted and essential brand,” explained David Fontana.

The following day, Biocodex Vietnam’s commercial team organized an original campaign using electric scooters (Pink Roadshow): young women in Saforelle uniforms toured the city, stopping at partner pharmacies to distribute flowers for Vietnamese Women's Day. They also visited public locations to hand out Saforelle samples.

Meanwhile, at a press conference held that morning, David Fontana reaffirmed Biocodex’s ongoing commitment to women's intimate health. He notably announced ongoing medical training in partnership with a major Vietnamese pharmacy chain. Biocodex’s 360-degree strategy is based on attentive listening to women's needs, education, information, and innovative solutions.

Finally, the collaboration between PPM and Biocodex, along with their participation in the Womentum event in Ho Chi Minh City, symbolizes their shared determination to advance women’s health not only in Cambodia but throughout the Asian region. By sharing scientific expertise and supporting the local medical community, they are helping to shape a healthier future for all women.
