Eczanes Pharmaceuticals was awarded a 12-month tender by the Victorian Government to provide their Australian-made rapid antigen tests to Victorian Health and other departments.
Under this contract, Eczanes Pharmaceuticals will supply their rapid antigen tests to the Victorian Government who will distribute these to hospitals and testing facilities state-wide.
Eczanes Pharmaceuticals is the exclusive distributor of the InnoScreen rapid antigen tests, which are the only Australian-made rapid antigen tests available on the market.
Innovation Scientific, the Australian manufacturer and Eczanes Pharmaceutical have seen success following the Australian Government’s approval of the sale of the tests in November this year.
The tender comes as Victoria returns from lockdowns, with an October report noting that Melbourne holds the world record for days spent in lockdown (link- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-03/melbourne-longest-lockdown/100510710) following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Director of Eczanes Pharmaceuticals and its online wing covidtestonline.com.au, Shida Kebriti, said that this is a great move for protecting Victorians against further lockdowns and the threat of potential oncoming variants.
“It has been incredibly tough for Victorians over the last couple of years as the state has navigated its way through multiple lockdowns. The rapid antigen tests are a tangible item that everyone has access to now, that will help prevent another outbreak putting a standstill on peoples’ livelihoods.”
“We are excited to work with the Victorian Government and we are committed to ensuring that these tests are utilised far and wide to detect COVID-19 and keep the community safe.”
