KEY Alliance Group Bhd’s unit Key Alliance Sdn Bhd has been given a full power of attorney and appointed as the local representative of South Korea’s ITDF Co., Ltd to affect the registration, promotion, marketing and sales, and distribution of Wells Bio Inc’s Care Gene Covid 19 RT PCR Test Kit.
Group managing director Roy Ho Yew Kee said its unit is now able to engage Malaysia’s relevant regulators and authorities to register the PCR Test Kit for import, marketing and sales and distribution locally.
“With the current situation of Covid-19 reaching a potential second wave internationally, testing requirements are expected to balloon in the coming months.
“Whilst the government has actively sought to provide adequate testing facilities and resources to the general public, there has to be increased contribution from the private sector, if the economy is to return to normalcy as soon as possible,” he said in a statement today.
By inking this arrangement, Key Alliance is able to offer an end-to-end approach for business mobilisation and continuity in this current environment of the new normal.
It plans to immediately move to affect the registration of the test kits for import and distribution, as demand for PCR test kits are expected to surge if a second wave of Covid-19 hits.
The group said this unique opportunity allows it to analyse firsthand the commercial viability of diversifying its mainstream technology business into Digital Healthcare, with diagnostic equipment trading, digital medical platforms, hospital grade IOT sensors, and big data collection as a segue of its current focus. – May 22, 2020, Bernama
