pharmaceuticals, RAMM also operates a successful pharmaceutical,
cosmetic and nutraceutical product development and medical services

drugs and registered products to meet the growing demand in Latin
America and other jurisdictions globally,” stated Jack Burnett,
Chief Executive Officer. “We are very pleased with the interest in
our suite of products and look forward to increasing access to

approved for use on a compassionate basis in 3 other Latin American
countries and are in the application process at various stages of

currency, political climate and strong pharmaceutical research
sector make it an ideal base for product research and development
and to service the Latin American population of approximately 640
million people.
