In light of the WHICH? report findings, the Company has referred the issues raised to its Scientific & Clinical Advisory Board.\n \nDr Satu Vainikka, CEO of ValiRx plc, commented:\n\"I am delighted that the principle behind individuals taking control of their own health through self-testing kits is increasingly on the agenda. I look forward to working with other interested parties to ensure customers are properly informed and educated about their health\".\n \n\"With an increasing number of people of all ages being asked to take more responsibility for their own health, we regard our SELFCheck tests as a useful aid to achieve this. Our tests are designed to detect markers of potential underlying conditions; they are not in themselves disease diagnostics. With regard to disease diagnosis, patient counselling and treatment regimes, these services are unquestionably the domains of the Nursing and GP professions\".\n \n \nFor more information, please contact:\n \nEnquiries:\n \n\n\n\n\nValiRx plc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Satu Vainikka\n\n\nTel: +44 (0) 20 3008 4416\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.valirx.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeckwater PR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarquin Edwards\n\n\nTel: +44 (0)7879 458 364\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\[email protected]\n\n\n\n\n \n \nNotes for Editors\n \nValiRx Plc\nValiRx Plc is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel technologies and products in oncology therapeutics and ...
