Vavici(TM) Announces Formation of First Comprehensive International Distribution System for Stem Cell Therapies

Posted on: Tuesday, 30 October 2007, 12:00 CDT

Vavici has announced its plans to create the first comprehensive international distribution network to bring life-changing stem cell therapies to healthcare providers and patients. The announcement was made in conjunction with Vavici's support of the Angel Ball, hosted by The G&P Foundation for Cancer Research, Monday, Oct. 29, 2007, in New York City at the New York Marriott Marquis.

"Stem cells have the potential to cure a broad range of chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and lupus," said Dr. Han S. Chiu, founder and CEO of Vavici.

As the first major worldwide, world-class distribution system to get therapies out of the laboratory and into doctors' offices and hospitals where patients can be treated, the Vavici distribution network will encompass:

Establishment of the highest quality advisory boards to ensure patient safety and appropriate protocols and standards for all stem cell therapies, services and provider facilities that are certified through Vavici internationally

Collaboration with major academic medical institutions and local regulatory authorities to ensure that all Vavici certified therapies exceed local guidelines

Creation of an international patient registry, comprehensive follow-up and education system to protect all patients and to provide them with appropriate disclosures

Distribution agreements and strategic relationships with all legitimate stem cell companies and institutions with groundbreaking technologies and services

Formation of an international network of certified Vavici affiliates that ensure quality care

The market for stem cell therapies is currently $16 million a year in the U.S. Within a decade, U.S. stem cell sales are projected to exceed $8.6 billion, according to RRY Publications market forecast. Vavici is poised to be the center of this nascent and exploding sector that is transforming the health care landscape.
