"We are very pleased to have secured an exclusive partner to distribute our needle-free injection device, InsuJet™, in Kuwait. Kuwait has the third highest prevalence of adult diabetes in the world and being able to offer our products there means that more diabetics living with the disease will have the opportunity to improve their lives," said Michael Wright, CEO of NuGen M.D. "This multi-year deal opens up a new territory and builds upon our previously announced distribution agreements as we begin to stack future sales against our 2022 targets. This is one step closer to achieving our goal of establishing ourselves as the global leader in needle-free injections."

NuGen M.D.'s needle-free injection system is the first ever self-administered needle-free injection system approved by Health Canada and gives access to safe, cost-effective drug delivery for the millions of patients who suffer from diabetes or other chronic illnesses.
