[ACCESSWIRE]
CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2019 / The healthcare stock market has taken leaps and bounds in the first few months of the new year, with companies in the space working hard to develop innovative treatment options and healthcare services for their patients. It's no longer a case of whether a disease can be treated, but more importantly, is each patient receiving the highest quality of care for their iteration of said disease. No two anatomical systems are alike, so, naturally, drugs and treatments cannot be created with a one-size-fits-all approach. If companies in the healthcare sector continue to operate with a patient-centric focus, this may, in turn, draw more investors in search of potential opportunities. Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI), Aceto Corporation (NASDAQ: ACET), OPKO Health Inc (NASDAQ: OPK), and Midatech Pharma plc (NASDAQ: MTP) represent 4 healthcare stocks to pay attention to on Thursday.
Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI) is a company which is laser-focused on developing innovative approaches that combine human skill-based expertise with state-of-the-art technologies to champion products and services meant to improve the quality of life for consumers.
Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI) today announced the launch of at technology-enabled mental health counseling service for patients in urban centers and remote and underserved populations. Dr. Tahmeena Ali and Dr. Robert McKenzie are two Vancouver-based family physicians with extensive experience in mental health care and will be championing the initiative.
Following the announcement, Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Premier Health Group (OTC: PHGRF) (CSE: PHGI), commented, "it's disheartening to hear that 1 in 5 people in Canada will personally experience a mental health problem or illness and due to the lack of accessibility to care providers, we are failing to meet the needs of mental health care provision. Having the ability to offer virtual mental health counseling services is pivotal to our patient-centric app. Through my own practice, I have encountered a significant number of teens and young adults who would much rather use virtual services from the comfort of their home than come in person and wait in a busy waiting room to talk about their mental health."

Aceto Corporation (ACET), an international company engaged in the development, marketing and distribution of health products, announced earlier this month that it had entered into a "stalking horse" asset purchase agreement with an affiliate of New Mountain Capital, a leading growth-oriented investment firm with over $20 billion in assets under management, to sell its chemicals business assets for gross proceeds of $338 million in cash, plus the assumption of certain liabilities and subject to certain adjustments, on a cash-free and debt-free basis.
William Kennally III, Chief Executive Officer of Aceto, said, "for the past several months, the Board has been conducting a comprehensive evaluation of strategic alternatives to address the Company's debt burden in consultation with its financial and legal advisors while continuing to work cooperatively with its lenders. After assessing its options, the Board has determined that Court-supervised sales of Aceto's chemicals business assets and its subsidiary Rising Pharmaceuticals are in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders."
