(OTCQB:EVFM) transactions, Aditxt will introduce two additional programs; one program will be dedicated to public health and the other program will be dedicated to women's health. Each program is designed to function autonomously while collectively advancing Aditxt's mission of discovering, developing, and deploying innovative health solutions to tackle some of the most urgent health challenges.
