United Health Products Inc. Recognized as a Vendor Supplier to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and Receives Order for HemoStyp™ Gauze
United Health Products, Inc. www.unitedhealthproductsinc.com
(OTCQB: UEEC.PK) wholly owned subsidiary, Epic Wound Care, Inc., which
develops and markets products and technologies in the healthcare sector
has been recognized as a vendor/supplier by the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints (LDS). United Health Products has provided LDS with
initial orders of its HemoStyp™ Gauze that is being incorporated into
aid packages for Humanitarian Relief and Assistance.
The Church's Humanitarian Center, established in 1991, prepares
emergency relief supplies for worldwide shipment to disaster victims,
works to establish a global sense of self-reliance, and offers service
opportunities to both church members and non-members. The emergency
relief supplies that the church donates typically include clothing,
personal care kits, and medical supplies. According to the LDS
Humanitarian Center website, it ships about 12 million pounds of shoes
and clothing, 1 million hygiene kits, and 1 million pounds of medical
supplies per year to relieve suffering in more than 100 countries. When
a disaster strikes, the church works with local government officials and
other organizations to determine the immediate needs, and sends the
necessary supplies and food to the affected area within hours.
Missionaries are then sent to help alleviate other long-term damages by
assisting injured persons and reconstructing damaged buildings. The
church works in these efforts without regard to the nationality or
religion of the recipients, and 100 percent of the financial
contributions donated to the church by members and non-members are used
for humanitarian purposes.
Dr. Phillip Forman, CEO of United Health Products, Inc., stated, "Being
chosen by such a reputable organization, to have our HemoStyp™ on the
frontlines of disaster and humanitarian relief, is exactly what we were
looking for. It validates our wound care products' applications and
efficiency in a broad range of markets and situations."
The church has been involved in providing relief aid for victims of
several disasters in recent years, including Hurricane
Katrina, the 2010
Haiti earthquake, the 2011
Christchurch earthquake, and the 2011
Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. In 2005 the church partnered with Catholic
Relief Services to provide aid for struggling families and
individuals in Niger, and it has also partnered with Islamic
Relief to help victims of flooding in Pakistan. In addition, the
church works with local government agencies and other religious and
secular organizations such as the American
Red Cross and UNICEF.
Dr. Forman believes that the Company's gauze was chosen by LDS
"precisely because of HemoStyp's™ flexibility in terms of use as a wound
care product." He went on to say that, "To us, this is proof that our
product goes well beyond your average bandages use in the Commercial and
Consumer Marketplace. The future looks bright for HemoStyp™."
