PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / TruMerit™ (formerly CGFNS International) welcomed the release this week of the World Health Organization’s State of the World’s Nursing Report, which provides the first comprehensive assessment of global nursing since the COVID-19 pandemic.
TruMerit
The report highlights a critical imperative to strengthen global nursing capacity in the wake of the pandemic and amid economic uncertainty, climate change impacts, and persistent health inequities. It warns that the global health workforce shortage will continue to widen, reaching 11 million by 2030, thereby requiring a fundamental shift in how countries approach healthcare workforce planning and investment.
While emphasizing the urgent need to address this challenge, TruMerit President and CEO Dr. Peter Preziosi, who served on the WHO steering committee that helped guide the report’s preparation, pointed to opportunities to leverage the power of nursing to resolve inequities and shore up healthcare delivery and quality around the world.
“In response to this report, non-governmental organizations in the healthcare sector must adopt collaboration as their watchword and work with each other and with professional societies and patient-centered organizations in pursuing genuine social impact,” said Preziosi. “We need to support next-generation approaches that recognize the critical role of nurses – who make up the largest segment of the global healthcare workforce – in advancing primary care, resilient health systems, and universal health coverage solutions to optimize population health in every country.”
“As the report points out, nearly 80% of the world’s nurses are working in countries that cover only half the world’s population. This is a critical imbalance in the global nursing workforce that must be addressed. We can help do that with a greater focus on scaling up high-quality nursing education and career development that expands across borders to enable nurses everywhere to deliver on their potential,” he added.
Preziosi also noted these opportunities highlighted in the report:
Progress in the expansion of nurse-led care models, with more than 60% of countries now having introduced Advanced Practice Nursing. By enhancing localized, specialized care, these models are proven to deliver cost-effective care and offer a way forward in expanding health coverage and healthcare equity.
The nursing profession globally is becoming more skilled and prepared, with 80% of the world’s nurses now at the “professional” level. The challenge ahead, said Preziosi, is to ensure they have opportunities to work at the full extent of their education, which requires regulatory frameworks to be strengthened and modernized to reflect updated scopes of practice and relevant continuing professional development.
The wider use of digital health tools is bringing expert consultations to remote areas, including those powered by telehealth and artificial intelligence. These are showing great promise in enhancing accessibility and bridging gaps in care delivery, invigorating nursing education, and improving efficiency, accessibility, and outcomes.
Seizing on these and other opportunities highlighted in the report, Preziosi expressed optimism that the grave challenges posed by the nursing shortage and other factors can be addressed.
“When the people who deliver the care are empowered with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to achieve excellence in their profession, they can lead the way to resolving the healthcare challenges of today and tomorrow,” he said.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc.(NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) today reported its consolidated first-quarter 2025 financial results.
2025 FIRST QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:
Net Prescription Products Revenue: The combined net revenue for the Company’s prescription products (Mytesi®, Gelclair®, and Canalevia®-CA1) was approximately $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 37% over the combined net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $3.5 million, and a decrease of approximately 6% over the combined net revenue for the first quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.4 million.
Mytesi Prescription Volume: Mytesi prescription volume increased by approximately 1.8% in the first quarter of 2025 over the first quarter of 2024 and decreased by approximately 13.5% in the first quarter of 2025 over the fourth quarter of 2024. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels.
License Revenue: For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized license fees of $42,500 from a securities purchase agreement with a European partner, which was supported by a binding term sheet. This amount was consistently recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024 and none in the first quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the total deferred revenue associated with this contract amounts to approximately $0.7 million.

Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $0.6 million, from $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the conclusion of the Phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial, which reduced trial-related contract manufacturing services and regulatory activities.
Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense increased by approximately $1.1 million, from $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $2.5 million during the same quarter in 2025.

Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common shareholders increased by approximately $1.2 million, from $9.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $10.4 million in the same period in 2025. In addition to the loss from operations:
Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million, from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, to approximately $56,000 income for the same period in 2025, primarily due to changing the accounting of certain debt instruments designated at Fair Value Option (FVO).
Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA: Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 were a net loss of $9.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.
The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar’s performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / AGS Health, a leading provider of tech-enabled revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions and a strategic growth partner to healthcare providers across the U.S., announced today its expansion into Mexico with the opening of an office in Guadalajara. Taking advantage of the region’s growing technology presence and a skilled medical, legal, and engineering workforce, AGS Health will hire more than 150 team members to provide Clinical Administrative Services from the new location.
“U.S. hospitals and health systems are bowing under the weight of a chronic clinician shortage and rising burnout rates, both of which are shouldered at the expense of patient care. By expanding operations into Mexico, AGS Health can provide our customers with the opportunity to augment their internal teams with qualified physicians under a high-quality near-shore service model,” says AGS Health CEO Patrice Wolfe.
Among the Clinical Administrative Services that will be provided by the Mexico location’s bilingual team-a significant benefit for all AGS Health customers but especially those serving large Latino populations-are clinical denials and appeals, clinical prior authorizations, utilization management, and physician advisory services. The office, located in Zapopan within the greater Guadalajara metropolitan area, also supports key operational functions such as customer service, finance, and back-office support. Additionally, it will provide clinical documentation improvement services when needed.
The 7,500-square-foot office features upgraded workspaces and meeting areas designed for team collaboration and client engagement. Its proximity to public transportation and major city routes also means security, maintenance, and infrastructure teams can respond rapidly and provide enhanced follow-up on security-related matters.
“This expansion contributes to job creation and professional development opportunities in the Guadalajara region and demonstrates ongoing confidence in Guadalajara as a hub for high-quality business services and talent,” says Cheryl Cruver, Chief Revenue Officer, AGS Health. “It also serves as a platform for training, collaboration, and long-term career growth while reinforcing Guadalajara’s position as a premier nearshore destination for operational and customer support.”

Lab-testing and HVAC partners engaged locally to maintain margins.
Disruptive Technology Meets Rapid Market Expansion AirROS’s proprietary ROS technology continuously neutralizes viruses, bacteria, molds and odors-without chemical residues-earning independent lab validation for up to 99.99% pathogen reduction within 30 minutes. With regulatory bodies tightening IAQ mandates in schools, healthcare and hospitality, VirExit’s nationwide launch is timed to leverage a 6.7% CAGR market projected to exceed $8 billion by 2028.
“By combining SAGE’s breakthrough ROS platform with VirExit’s proven go-to-market engine, we’re not only enhancing safety but unlocking a durable, subscription-driven growth engine,” said James Katzaroff, CEO of VirExit Technologies. “Investors should expect steady quarterly revenue inflections, robust margin expansion and a clear pathway to positive cash flow by mid-2026.”
“VirExit’s market reach and ESG-aligned vision make them the ideal partner to scale AirROS,” added Brian Taylor, CEO of SAGE Industrial. “Together, we’ll set a new industry benchmark in continuous, on-site sanitation.”
Consumer Market Expansion & Public Health Impact To complement our B2B footprint, VirExit will introduce the AirROS™ Home unit for residential consumers in Q4 2025. This launch opens access to an estimated 128 million U.S. households (and over 2 billion homes globally) in the $2.1 billion U.S. residential air-purifier market (projected $7.2 billion worldwide).
Mold & Indoor Allergens
Current State: Roughly 50 % of U.S. homes contend with visible mold or dampness; up to 20 % of Americans report mold-related symptoms (nasal congestion, headaches, fatigue).
AirROS Home Benefit: Lab-validated to slash airborne mold spores by >99 %, reducing allergy flare-ups and related healthcare costs.
Childhood Asthma & Seasonal Pathogens
Current State: Asthma affects 1 in 13 Americans (≈ 25 million people), including 6 million children, leading to 5.5 million lost school days annually. The “back-to-school” season sees spikes in viral and bacterial transmission at home.
AirROS Home Benefit: Continuous ROS sanitation can cut asthma attack frequency by up to 40 %, curb household pathogen loads in high-risk months, and help families avoid costly ER visits and missed workdays.
Elderly & Immunocompromised Households
Current State: As immune defenses wane with age, older adults (12 % of the U.S. population) face higher rates of respiratory infections and hospital admissions-burdening families and the healthcare system.
AirROS Home Benefit: Provides round-the-clock air-and-surface safety, lowering infection risk for vulnerable residents and reducing dependence on expensive facility upgrades or professional cleanings.
By bridging our enterprise and consumer offerings, VirExit not only multiplies its addressable market-but also creates a direct, recurring-revenue channel through replacement cartridges and service plans. Investors should anticipate sustainable revenue contributions from both B2B installations and the rapidly growing residential segment beginning in Q4 2025.
Strategic B2B Roll-Out & High-Value Verticals VirExit is launching targeted pilot programs in three cornerstone verticals-Office Buildings (US $1.2 B market, delivering 10-20% HVAC savings and 35% fewer sick-days), Schools & Universities (US $0.7 B market, driving a 30% drop in absenteeism), and Long-Term Care (US $1.0 B market, achieving 40% fewer hospital-acquired infections).
After validating these results, VirExit will extend into 15 major metro areas-rolling out across retail, commercial & government, and hospitality sectors. A tiered referral incentive program (offering partners 2-7% of profits) will fuel rapid channel adoption, while bespoke ROI calculators make it crystal clear that AirROS’s upfront investment-recouped through energy savings, reduced maintenance, and fewer sick-day losses-pays for itself in under 18 months, delivering a full return within a year and a half. Real-time monitoring dashboards then empower facility managers to continuously track both cost savings and occupant wellbeing improvements at every site.
