Dexa Medica, one of Indonesia’s largest pharmaceutical companies, has consistently used its sophisticated research capabilities to prioritise Indonesia’s public health needs. Its motto — to use expertise for the promotion of health — is a natural consequence of this long-standing commitment to improving healthcare for all. The company and its management team is guided by its four core principles of honesty, trust, dedication, and commitment. Dexa Medica was founded in Palembang (South Sumatera, Indonesia) in 1969 by the late Lieutenant Colonel Drs. Rudy Soetikno, Apt., a low-profile young pharmacist in the Health and Medical Corps of the Indonesian army, he was moved by the scarce supply of medicine in Indonesia. Drs. Soetikno’s devotion to his country and his expertise in pharmaceuticals had uniquely positioned him to supply medicine — which turned out to be his calling in life.
