While some lines require additional time to ramp up production, we currently expect to be producing at pre-hurricane levels across the plant early in the first quarter of 2025. </p> <p>These milestones were made possible by the dedication and resilience of the North Cove and broader Baxter teams, working in coordination with FDA. </p> <p><strong>Resources for U.S. Healthcare Professionals
