NASEBA: POSITIVE EBITDA IN 2009
Sophia Antipolis, June 21st 2010
REALIGNMENT HAS PAID OFF, ENABLING THE GROUP TO RESUME ITS GROWTH AS OF 2010
naseba group shareholders met on June 18th, 2010 for their annual general meeting. All of the resolutions put forward were adopted and the accounts for 2009 were approved.
In 2009 the group's consolidated revenues totalled €6.1m [US$8.48m*], down 40 percent in comparison to 2008 (pro forma excluding Asia (excluding the Indian subcontinent)), a reflection on the unprecedented global economic and financial crisis.
However, naseba proved to be instantly reactive to the needs of the market and realigned its geographical and commercial focus, resulting in a positive EBITDA for the first time since it was listed.

Speaking at InnovHealth 2010, a two-day health conference in Abu Dhabi, Dr al Marzooqi also said the private sector should be allowed to treat patients with TB.
