Monday 29 April 2019: Australian medicinal cannabis company Althea Group Holdings Limited (ASX:AGH) (‘Althea’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide the following update regarding the uptake of its medicinal cannabis products in Australia.
The Company is excited to announce that it has achieved the 650-patient milestone. 140 patients were added between April 4 and April 26 (inclusive) representing 10 new patients per business day. In addition to Althea passing the 650-patient mark, there are now 145 Healthcare Professionals (‘ HCPs ’) who have prescribed Althea’s products.
Althea COO Patty Holmes said: “The rapid uptake has been driven by our Medical Science Liaison (MSL) team on the ground and Althea Concierge , the Company’s proprietary platform that allows patients, doctors and pharmacies to manage their medicinal cannabis needs in Australia. A key benefit of Althea Concierge is that it is able to greatly reduce application times for HCP’s looking to prescribe medicinal cannabis. Due to the increase in demand for our services, we are currently recruiting more MSL’s to further enhance our market leading position.”
