In a press release, the Bordeaux-based startup, co-founded by Clement Goehrs, Louis Letinier and Bruno Thiao-Layel, cited that medicines are responsible for 130,000 hospitalizations and 30,000 deaths annually in countries such as France. “That is the equivalent to the death toll and hospitalization numbers of the COVID-19 epidemic occurring every year in the country,” Synapse points out.
