1.6 million people are living with HIV in Kenya

Kenya is experiencing an HIV epidemic and currently has a reported 1.6 million people affected by HIV, many of which face high levels of discrimination.

The ICH application is important as over 80 countries are participants in the ICH system.

“I am pleased to note that the acceptance of filing of our NDA for Lodonal™ represents a key achievement toward commercialization and impactful distribution of our lead drug candidate. We intend to work closely with Pharmacy and Poison Board as it reviews the NDA,” states Griffin.
