Brazil is Latin America´s largest addressable market with more than 210 million people and we believe that our ZereniaTM model will replicate the success we have experienced around the world. We have served more than 25,000 individual patients across the globe through our model, with high peer patient acquisition and retention rates. We have a fantastic team on the ground in Brazil composed of doctors, nurses, patient advocates, and administrative staff in our Zerenia™ Rio clinic that will elevate our patient-first model to new levels.
