Khiron Medical Cannabis Products Arrive in Germany for Immediate Prescription, Sale and Distribution
Tejinder Virk, President of Khiron Europe, commented, "Since signing our distribution agreement with Nimbus Health in 2020, the Company's European Sales and Marketing teams have been actively educating doctors and raising awareness for our products. We are excited to launch our portfolio with Khiron 1/14, a product that covers unmet medical need in the German market. As we continue to expand our presence in the UK and Germany, we will leverage our clinical expertise from Colombia to provide the EU market with additional cannabis-based medicinal products."
Franziska Katterbach, Managing Director & Chief Legal Officer for Khiron Europe based in Frankfurt, commented, "I would like to thank our European team for their unwavering perseverance over the past few months; their efforts have allowed us to achieve this significant milestone despite the challenges of the global pandemic and Germany's strict regulatory environment. With all permits in place and product now available for sale, we look forward to increasing our presence in this growing market with over 60,000 medical cannabis patients and a population of over 82 million people. We are already developing additional cannabis-based medicinal products from our certified strains recently imported from Colombia to improve access and product selection for German patients."
Through its EU-GMP certified supply chain partners in Europe, Khiron continues to expand its offering of world-class medical cannabis products, targeting the introduction of cannabis-based medicinal products based on those already distributed by the Company in Colombia and Peru. With Khiron's proof of concept now validated in Colombia, the Company plans to leverage its clinical data and IP, educational platforms, and technology and systems to expand into new markets.
