WHYP Inc. – Genito-Urinary supplies

WHYP Inc. is operated by Rob Shum and Aries Chan. "We were both patients of Lyndhurst Hospital, The Spinal Cord Centre, in 1994. Like many of our counterparts we found it difficult to get good information regarding genitor-urinary (G.U.) supplies. This was compounded by rather poor service. We felt we could do better and in 1996, we incorporated. We have first hand knowledge of our products from personal experiences and customer feedback. Our goal is to help our customers make this difficult part of their lives as problem free as possible.
