“With the official approval of the COVID-19 and influenza combo kit in the US, we plan to not only achieve a large-scale turnaround this year, but also launch new products such as continuous glucose monitors and thermal PCR devices in the market one after another.” (Kang Cheol-hoon, CEO of Osang Healthcare)

Osang Healthcare  is gearing up for a performance rebound by leveraging the world's first COVID-19 and influenza combo kit to receive formal approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k).
