Bernard Tannoury started a pharmaceutical company at the age of 21 turning it into one of the biggest suppliers of pharmaceuticals and medical devices in the health field today. Throughout the years, his work had brought him face to face with less privileged Lebanese citizens struggling to pay for their medicine and, although he did his best to help the less fortunate, there were too many.
His desire to offer patients high quality health care products at affordable cost and his intense belief in the Lebanese industry were the two driving forces which led him to create a state of the art manufacturing facility in Lebanon.
In 2007, Benta Pharma Industries (BPI) specializing in pharmaceutical and biotechnology development was inaugurated. One of BPI’s recent achievements is the manufacturing of the generic antiviral for the H1N1 virus (swine flu). Bernard feels that his challenges have just begun and he knows that the road to success is still long and arduous but he has a lot of faith in his dreams.
