Clinical studies are also being planned to support Meditech's marketing efforts. Meditech Chief Executive Officer Gerald Kern has also indicated that, "Plans have been formulated for marketing the soon to be commercially renamed MTCH-24 immediately upon completion of OTC clinical studies. Renaming, package and label development have begun and will be ready by the time the tests are completed. "Having spent most of my business life as a senior sales and marketing executive with major consumer products companies, I welcome the opportunity to begin marketing Meditech's products." Kern said that marketing plans will include conventional retail channels, but will also take advantage of Internet/e-commerce sales opportunities for the initial products. The company has also engaged the services of a consultant in the State of Florida to pursue possibilities for its proposed Citrus Canker product.
