HDA honors manufacturers for industry excellence with 2018 DIANA awards
The Healthcare Distribution Alliance, which represents primary pharmaceutical distributors, has honored pharmaceutical and consumer product manufacturers with its annual Distribution Industry Awards for Notable Achievements in Healthcare.
