This latest fundraising round follows Hasten’s acquisition of the Chinese mainland rights for five cardiovascular and metabolism drugs from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited in March 2022.

Earlier this week M42, a joint venture between G42 Healthcare and Mubadala Health, made its first investment by acquiring Diaverum, a global renal care service provider.
