Danny Yeung, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Prenetics, said "I'm very proud of our strong results, demonstrating our continued growth, and reflecting the success we've had in performing over 26 million COVID-19 laboratory and at-home tests to date. Looking ahead, we expect to see continued demand in COVID testing to drive near term revenues. I'm also very excited to see our global clinical strategy taking shape, as we launch more tests into more clinics. As part of our UK restructuring, we've recently added Professor Robert Harris as our Executive Chairman for Prenetics EMEA. We are thrilled to be able to leverage his knowledge and experience as a co-founder and former CEO of Lakeside Healthcare Group, which he grew into one of the largest GP practices in the UK. We believe with the addition of Prof. Harris and our new UK strategy, we aim to provide clinical care to 1 million people by 2025. Lastly, we are now in final discussions for multiple acquisitions in the area of clinical cancer genomics, virtual care and primary care clinics which we believe would be highly synergistic and accretive to Prenetics as we continue on our mission to build an end to end health ecosystem. I look forward to providing key updates in the coming months.
Professor Robert Harris, Executive Chairman of Prenetics EMEA, added "I am thrilled to join Prenetics as they continue to scale the business and approach exciting roll-up opportunities. Having previously built one of the UK's largest GP practices, managing hundreds and thousands of patients, I'm impressed by Prenetics' suite of preventive and diagnostic tests, and their goal of providing a greater level of care to patients."
