Even before the Spanish Government officially communicated its need, we identified the imperative need for more hydroalcoholic hand sanitizing gels and requested the necessary authorisations to begin production. Using ingredients destined for other products, in record time we formulated, manufactured and donated our first gels to the healthcare authorities. Over the past month, with an average daily production of 15,000 units, we have been able to distribute a total of 400,000 hydroalcoholic sanitizing gels to hospitals, health centres, seniors’ residences, security forces and high-risk groups.

ENDOCARE®, DERMACARE® and UREA-FAR NM products are also playing an important role. Abrasions caused by PPE (personal protection equipment) masks and constant handwashing and hygiene mean that the skin of healthcare professionals requires special care.
In total, over 270,000 DERMACARE® 10ml gentle cleansers have been allocated for the facial hygiene of our healthcare workers; thousands of units of DERMACARE® Lotion, ENDOCARE® Lotion, ENDOCARE® Gelcream and Urea-Far NM are being used to protect and heal the skin of our healthcare professionals, not only in Spain but also in Italy and Portugal where these and other products have been donated.

Furthermore, we are lending our technical and financial support to the Covid-19 research project at the University of Alcalá. Its primary objective is to know exactly which medicines and treatments are required by Covid-19 patients at each stage of the disease and characterise the patients in order to personalise their treatment.
This Project shall be undertaken by a multidisciplinary team led by the University Professor Melchor Álvarez de Mon. These specialists shall analyse the intensity and alterations of the main cellular components of the immune system through a sample of over 300 infected patients, to identify the effective immunological memory and potential residual effects of patients after overcoming the acute stage of the infection.
