Jamjoom Pharmaceuticals Factory Company (Jamjoom Pharma), one of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical companies in the Middle East and Africa, has signed a strategic commercialisation agreement with Bio-Thera Solutions, a global biopharmaceutical company specialising in innovative therapies and biosimilars.

"By joining forces with Bio-Thera, we are combining world-class biosimilar development with Jamjoom's deep regional expertise, strong commercial capabilities, and commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable therapies. This agreement strengthens our leadership in the biopharmaceutical sector and reinforces our role as a trusted partner in improving patient outcomes."

"Bio-Thera is committed to bringing affordable medicines to patients in need around the world, " said Bert Thomas, Senior Vice President of Business Development.

"Partnering with JamJoom Pharma to bring BAT2306 to patients in the MENA region is a demonstration of that commitment. We are proud to partner with Jamjoom Pharma and look forward to a successful collaboration," Thomas said.
