We are ensuring the physical and mental health of our employees remains a top priority and I would like to personally thank them all for their extraordinary hard work and dedication,” said Mr. Torres.

COVID-19 Management
Khiron has established contingency plans in place for all its facilities, including medical facilities which are essential to serving the community.

Khiron’s ILANS and Zerenia clinics have been deemed essential services by the government of Colombia and continue to operate without requirement of any further authorization. The Company’s recently announced teleconsultation services ensure patients, including those from its ILANS and Zerenia network, have access to clinic services and doctors trained to prescribe medical cannabis and other treatments.

The Company is actively executing on its Latin American doctor education strategy with a recently announced agreement to bring online learning to 1,500 doctors at Mexico’s Tec Monterrey, one of the leading and most highly respected universities in Latin America.

Corporate Social Responsibility
