ALTHEA CEO JOSH FEGAN SAID: “Althea continues to facilitate a growing number of Australian doctors to prescribe Althea medicinal cannabis to patients all over the country, with thousands of Australians now benefiting from treatment with Althea medicinal cannabis. Althea is demonstrating that the medicinal cannabis industry in Australia has enormous potential – especially with the support of the medical community which continues to gain momentum. Althea is focussed on medical education and this is proving that by working closely with Healthcare Professionals, medicinal cannabis can reach an ever-increasing number of patients.”
MEDICINAL CANNABIS APPLICATIONS ON THE RISE
Althea’s growth follows the increase in Therapeutic Good Administration (‘ TGA ’) Special Access Scheme Category B (‘ SAS B ’) applications in Australia. The Australian medicinal cannabis market increased at its highest rate so far in August, adding 2,893 TGA SAS B approvals.
The rapid uptake of Althea’s products is being driven by the Company’s strategy comprised of: an on-theground Medical Science Liaison team; Althea Concierge , the Company’s proprietary technology platform which streamlines the application process for HCPs prescribing medicinal cannabis; and its secondary channel of clinic partners in Australia.
