A New Chapter In Africa’s Fight Against Blindness Begins on August 20th at COECSA’S 2025 Congress with BioUcenta™, Bio Usawa’s Anti-VEGF Therapy

Date:August 19, 2025

Exciting developments in Anti-VEGF therapy are afoot! 

Anti-VEGF is the gold standard for managing:

• Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
• Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wet AMD)
• Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO)

Blocking VEGF reduces retinal vascular leakage, improves visual acuity, and decreases macular thickness.

At the Congress, we will introduce BioUcenta — a high-quality, affordable biosimilar to Lucentis®, already approved in 22 countries with stringent FDA-like regulatory track records.

With BioUcenta, patients across Africa will have greater access to world-class sight-saving therapy—at a price that makes treatment sustainable and equitable.

Brought to you by Bio Usawa — a US- and Africa-based biotech company dedicated to delivering quality, affordable monoclonal antibodies for patients across Africa.
