Recently floated diagnostics company Rockeby Biomed (ASX:RBY) has signed up Asia-Pacific healthcare and pharmaceutical distributor JDH Healthcare as its exclusive distributor for its Candia5 Rapid Test kit in Hong Kong and Macau.
The unique test for vaginal candidiasis (thrush) -- a disease that affects 75 per cent of women at least once in their lifetime -- will be initially marketed there as a point of care test available from general practitioners, gynaecologists and obstetricians.
It has already been launched in several other Asia-Pacific markets including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia.
The Singapore- and Australia-based company listed on the ASX on December 23rd at AUD$0.20 and at the time of writing was trading at $0.245.
