Dario Eklund, Chief Executive Officer of Santhera, said: “As leaders in the Turkish specialty pharmaceuticals market, GEN were a natural choice for Santhera as we looked for a high-quality distribution partner. We look forward to working closely in the run up to launching in the country in 2026, to provide access to the many DMD patients lacking suitable treatment options.”
