Winners of the JESSICA Most Successful Women Award 2024
On July 18, we held the annual JESSICA Most Successful Women award luncheon at the Island Shangri-La. The event, title sponsored by the Women's Well-Being Foundation and co-sponsored by Viatris Healthcare Hong Kong Limited, kicked off with a fireside chat on pressing women's health issues such as fertility preservation, menopause, and wellness. Afterward, attendees gathered for the luncheon and award ceremony, where awards were presented to this year's 16 winners.
