The partnership with CDL
As a specialized pain clinic, CDL already has pain management specialists and a patient base exclusively related to chronic and acute pain. Starting February 2022, Khiron will be leveraging the CDL’s existing infrastructure and reputation to provide access to cannabinoid-based treatments to a growing group of patients in Lima and surrounding areas.
Alvaro Torres, Khiron CEO and Director, commented, “In 2021, Peru represented around 5% of our total volume sales in Latin America, and now with our new partnership with CDL we believe we can increase our sales cost-effectively by expanding Zerenia™ in Peru. In our first clinic in Peru, over 80% of total consultations resulted in medical cannabis prescriptions, further validating our unique, evidence and service-driven strategy. By establishing a new pain-focused partnership with CDL in Lima, we plan to grow beyond our current capacity and offer different treatment alternatives to more than 10,000 patients annually. Khiron recently began placing its registered products in various drugstore channels across Peru, improving the ease of access to patients who are prescribed medical cannabis in the country, and generating further growth. I am very excited about this partnership as it also allows us to explore different business models for the expansion of Zerenia™ across the region and we look forward to generating higher growth in the Peruvian market with a population of over 32 million people.”
