I regularly cite AstraZeneca, the Swedish developer of Prilosec, as an example of how this can be done. The company introduced Prilosec to treat stomach ulcers in 1989, but even before the drug's release, its affiliates were laying the groundwork by rolling out test reagents, isolation techniques, and related medical devices. Sweden's biomedical engineering has become quite advanced.
我經常以瑞典藥廠 AstraZeneca（阿斯特捷利康）為例，它在 1989 年開發出治療胃潰瘍的藥物「普利樂」（Prilosec），為了開發這個藥，在藥品問世前，周邊工業就已經先出來了，包括檢驗試劑、分離技術及相關醫材，所以瑞典的生醫工程相當先進。
