As the world's scientists rush to find vaccines and therapeutics to treat 
COVID-19, there's another group of scientists who are working just as hard to 
protect the drugs and safely deliver them to patients and in addition - fight 
counterfeiters.  

"Once a COVID-19 drug is produced, it needs to be safely distributed throughout 
the world and must survive the risks of freezing, heat abuse, sun (UV) damage, 
tampering and counterfeiting," said Lyle Small, CTI's chief executive officer. 
"The world is throwing money at beating the coronavirus in a compressed 
timeline. This just amplifies the risk and CTI has simple solutions for all of 
these related efficacy challenges," Small continued.

According to the World Health Organization, seven of the 10 top-selling drugs 
in the world are damaged by freezing temperatures, including vaccines for 
influenza and pneumonia. 

"ATI is already working with dozens of pharmaceutical companies and we are 
diligently launching this program to support all of their COVID-19 R&D and 
launch efforts," said Randall Lane, chief executive officer of ATI.

CTI and ATI's goals are to protect at least 100 million units of drugs being 
distributed to health care officials. The CTI donation has an equivalent value 
of US$5 million.
