Aphria fully supports veteran community
LEAMINGTON, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 24, 2016) - In the news release, "Aphria agrees with changes to
Veteran Affairs policy" issued earlier today by Aphria Inc. (TSX VENTURE:APH)(OTCQB:APHQF), please be advised that previous
versions should be disregarded. They were issued incorrectly by Marketwired. Complete corrected text follows.
Aphria Inc. ("Aphria" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:APH)(OTCQB:APHQF) agrees with the
recent changes made by the Canadian federal government to its Veteran Affairs policy on medical cannabis. The change limits the
daily amount prescribed to veterans to three grams unless they receive a special exemption.
"We always fulfill patients' orders based on the recommended dosage from their doctor, so we're pleased that the new
regulations include provisions for veterans individual requirements and that coverage will be tailored accordingly," said Vic
Neufeld, Chief Executive Officer. Aphria works in full transparency with Health Canada within strict regulatory guidelines and to
the highest ethical standards when delivering health care options. The Company does not engage in the practice of dual pricing
between veteran and non-veteran platforms. Aphria is committed to working with Health Canada and all regulators to ensure that
all patients, regardless of medical coverage, continue to receive the best possible treatment options.
The CannWay brand is an example of how Aphria serves the veteran community. It was developed by veterans specifically for
their peers and the product line is comprised of an assortment of strains that they hand selected to manage the various ailments
they deal with daily, including PTSD and chronic pain. "We always have, and always will, work collaboratively with veterans to
support them in getting the medicine they require and the patient care they need. We even have dedicated personnel in place to
specifically work with this group," continued Neufeld.
The Company prides itself on its superior patient care and continues to receive impressive accolades from independent industry
associations and sites, including winning the 2016 Canadian Cannabis Award for Best Customer Service. "We are so proud of our
team and the meaningful impact they have on our patients lives every day" Neufeld concluded.
We have a Good Thing Growing.
