“2013 was, without doubt, one of the most eventful years in Medivir’s 25-year history! The biggest single event during the year was the marketing approval of simeprevir – a pharmaceutical for the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C that we have helped develop. The approval has allowed the launch of simeprevir in Japan, Canada and the USA. Hepatitis C infected patients can now be treated using a drug that we have helped discover and develop. It is a source of great satisfaction to all Medivir employees, myself included, that we have developed a pharmaceutical all the way from a concept to a new treatment that can cure people and save lives,” said Medivir’s CEO, Maris Hartmanis, in his CEO’s Statement in this year’s Annual Report.”
