VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Care Capital Inc. (CSE:HLTH, FRANKFURT:L6V1) (the “Company” or “Global Care”) a global investment company which engages in early stage investment opportunities in private and public companies, is pleased to provide a corporate update from CEO, Alex Somjen.
For the period beginning April 1st, 2020 and ending June 30th, 2020, Global Care’s portfolio companies, High Standard Health Care Ltd. (“High Standard Health Care”) and ViraxClear through its joint venture partner, Shanghai Biotechnology Devices Ltd. (“ViraxClear”), on a consolidated basis, generated approximately CDN$ 3.95 million in gross revenue with a gross margin of approximately 39% from the sale of High Standard Health Care PPE products, ViraxClear branded COVID-19 Rapid Antibody Test Kits (“Test Kits”) and ViraxCare branded PPE products. The Company cautions that revenue figures have not yet been audited and are based on reports prepared by High Standard Health Care and ViraxClear management.
High Standard Health Care
High Standard Health Care anticipates an increase in purchase order volume as several customers are running out of existing PPE and are requesting follow up quotes. There has been increased interest from school districts within New York State and High Standard Health Care continues to work on long term vendor agreements. There has been a high volume of requests for children sized masks which High Standard Health Care has direct access to and believes is a key differentiator.
High Standard Health Care hopes to be in a position to announce multiple new partnerships with schools in the coming weeks as well as reorders from existing customers.
“We are excited about the growth prospects of our company over the next twelve months,” shared Pat Gray, CEO of High Standard Health Care. “Our main focus within our organization is and always has been customer service which we continue to see pay off. Maintaining strong relationships with our customers has always been our first priority and our customers have shown loyalty in return.”

An LOI has been signed with Biosonda Biotecnologia (“Biosonda”) for the distribution of up to 3 million Test Kits for the Chilean market, valued at $17.25 million. Biosonda states that they have distributed the Test Kits they purchased to their network, submitted them for government trials and are gearing up for nationwide distribution through their own channels and via the government.
ViraxClear signed a contract for distribution with well-known Philippines medical device distribution company Novarad Asia Pacific Company, following the Philippines Food and Drug Administration (“PFDA”) approval for the ViraxClear Test Kits.
