2 May 2017 - Deborah Wilkes

Bayer's Consumer Health division reported worldwide sales up by 2.6% in the first quarter of 2017. The rise had been driven by "good and encouraging growth" in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region as well as Asia Pacific, said Bayer's chief executive officer Werner Baumann, and several brands had achieved "double-digit" gains.
