Marc Werner, CEO of Galenica, stated in a July 2022 interview that the company is "in good shape" and working on three dimensions: market performance, digitalization, and efficiency and transformation. He said Galenica can make a "big contribution to digitalization in the healthcare system" because the company is "very strongly networked in many facets of healthcare." Werner gave the example of electronic prescriptions, where a patient could have a doctor send a prescription directly to a chosen pharmacy, describing this as a benefit for the healthcare system and patient safety. Regarding the impact of COVID-19 testing becoming paid and vaccination rates declining, Werner acknowledged that Galenica would feel the effects but noted it was "clear from the beginning that this business would not remain at the same level." He expressed hope that testing and vaccination would continue to be in demand, along with other services. Werner also confirmed the company's target of 5 to 8 percent revenue growth for the year, noting that the first half of 2022 saw nearly 10 percent growth, driven by a strong second quarter after a weaker first quarter.
