The new Zerenia™ locations expand Khiron's clinic network to six, improving access to the Company's clinic services and medical cannabis products for patients across the country. Patients in Cali and Bucaramanga may now connect with medical specialists trained in the ethical, safe, and responsible prescription of cannabis-based medications in person or through Khiron's Doctor Zerenia™ telemedicine platform.
"We are off to a great start in 2021 and the Zerenia satellite clinic model is proving to be an exceptional platform for reaching new patients. The rapid expansion of clinics is helping Khiron reach more patients in more places, more conveniently, in these cities. With the opening of two new satellite clinics in Cali and Bucaramanga, Khiron has taken another step toward increasing patient access to medical cannabis, with the objective of improving the quality of life for thousands of people in Colombia. Our unique and proven business model will support our goal of reaching 1,000,000 patients by 2024 in a sustainable manner," comments Alvaro Torres, Khiron CEO and Director.
Based on positive physician and patient feedback at Khiron's initial satellite clinics, the Company now plans to expand its clinic presence in major metropolitan centres throughout Colombia. Three additional satellite Zerenia™ clinics, which will focus on treating pathologies such as chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, depression, headache, epilepsy, and Parkinson's Disease, are expected to open over the course of the year.
