Medicinal cannabis applications on the rise
The rapid uptake of Althea’s products is being driven by the Company’s strategy comprised of: an on-the-ground Medical Science Liaison team; Althea Concierge , the Company’s proprietary technology platform that greatly reduces application times for HCP’s looking to prescribe medicinal cannabis; and its growing secondary channel of clinic partners in Australia.
Althea’s growth has been supported by 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 in July, adding 2,206 TGA SAS B approvals.
