GenBioChem® Immunity is the first Canadian natural health product successfully donated to first-line medical staff in Wuhan to fight COVID-19 Pandemic

March 10, 2020- Edmonton, AB- In an attempt to help strengthen the immune systems of medical staff in the battle against COVID-19, PBG BioPharma Inc. has donated thousands of bottles of GenBioChem® Immunity to the Wuhan rescue medical team of Jinan University in Guangzhou. 

It is the first health product to be donated to front-line medical personnel to aid in the battle against the new type of coronavirus through China’s Green Channel. 

In lieu of a vaccine or antiviral drugs to combat the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the human body can only rely on its own immune system to protect against the virus.  PBG’s flagship product, GenBioChem® Immunity, enhances the first line of defense of the immune system by activating immune cells including NK cells and macrophage cells. 

In order to support the fight against COVID-19 pandemic, PBG BioPharma has donated thousands of bottles of GenBioChem® Immunity to Jinan University - Wuhan Medical Team to help enhance the immunity of medical staff and build a new Great Wall against the new coronavirus.

“We would like to sincerely thank PBG BioPharma Inc. for its generosity in donating GenBioChem® Immunity in the spirit of humanitarianism. GenBioChem® Immunity will be used to support the front-line medical team for the Wuhan rescue mission,” said Professor An Hong, the Vice President of Jinan University.  

Of the donation, President and CEO of PBG BioPharma, Dr. Jacqueline Shan said, “My team and I have been focusing our research and development over the past two decades on natural medicine targeting the body's immune function. The result is our second-generation product, GenBioChem® Immunity. Our desire is to bring some form of relief to frontline workers and strengthen their internal immunity so they may keep helping those in need.” 

The Green Channel was developed as part of the Chinese government’s efforts to encourage innovation in the medical device industry by expediting the registration process for “innovative” medical devices. Although the policy was originally indented for Chinese companies, an amendment was made in 2014 opening the policy up to foreign manufacturers.
