Regulatory News:
Ikonisys SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALIKO), a company
specializing in the early and accurate detection of cancers through
a unique fully automated solution for medical analysis
laboratories, today announces the signing of a distribution
agreement with Green Med, a major distributor of medical devices in
Panama and Central America. This collaboration is part of a
strategic initiative, which aims at bringing innovative cytological
and oncological diagnostics to the region, based on four core
initiatives.
The first step of the plan focuses on certification and
importation of Ikonisys Group’s products into Panama, leveraging
the region’s logistical and operational advantages. Panama’s
strategic position as a logistics hub will enable streamlined
distribution and access to Ikonisys Group's products across Central
America (including Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Salvador,
Guatemala and Belize).
The second pillar of this initiative involves introducing
Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) technology into Panamanian healthcare
facilities, which currently rely solely on traditional cytology
methods. Through this agreement, Ikonisys Group aims to modernize
diagnostic processes, providing LBC solutions that enhance
diagnostic accuracy, improve sample quality, and optimize
laboratory workflows.
Furthermore, Ikonisys Group will promote its FISH (Fluorescence
In Situ Hybridization) technology to major oncology diagnostic
centers nationwide, offering high sensitivity testing for various
oncological applications and facilitating early and accurate cancer
detection, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Finally, Ikonisys Group will establish a Temporary Association
of Companies (ATI) with local partners to collaborate with the
Panamanian government on a bladder cancer mass screening project.
This program aims to provide early detection and preventive care
for urinary tract diseases, a significant public health concern in
the region. Once the trial is validated, this screening program
could be applied across the region.
The initial market test will be conducted in Panama, chosen for
its strategic location and advanced healthcare infrastructure and
will encompass the full product line of Ikonisys Group, serving as
a benchmark for subsequent launches across Central America.
“We are thrilled to partner with Green Med and all our
participating operators,” stated Alessandro Nosei, General
Manager of Hospitex - Ikonisys Group. “The initial market test
in Panama is a crucial step towards global implementation of our
strategy.”
Through this initiative, Ikonisys Group reaffirms its commitment
to supporting cancer diagnostic advancements in Panama and bringing
cutting-edge diagnostic technology to Latin America, working
closely with local institutions to address pressing healthcare
needs.
