Humanitarian and development programs

We cooperate with government institutions and other non-profit organizations. We provide material support for the government program MEDEVAC which sends its medical teams to the areas of need and provides expert training to foreign medical staff. By carrying out our own projects we aim at best-practice sharing and skills training to streamline the medical care processes. We respond to current humanitarian crises, participate in direct humanitarian aid programs and support initiatives with a focus on health programs.

Centers of excellence management

Insufficient qualification of medical equipment operators is a common phenomenon encountered in developing countries. Devices are not properly configured, they are handled inefficiently, and once the device stops working, it is discarded and replaced.

Proper training of biomedical engineers, nurses, and doctors for operation and routine maintenance would allow the products to be used to their full capacity and save significant amounts of money.

With centers of excellence established in foreign regions, we are able to provide local support for equipment installation, staff training, and product servicing. The center is very well suited to conduct clinical trials as well as to provide training of the users to know their rights against manufacturers and to be able to enforce the liability against authorized service providers.

Educational programs for Biomedical engineers

Biomedical engineers are an indispensable part of the hospital staff although not very visible. They are a key component in ensuring the functionality and longevity of medical technology, which is in a deplorable state, especially in developing countries. We want to guarantee the availability of this medical-technical specialization wherever education is the most valuable commodity.

In cooperation with the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of CTU, we are preparing a scholarship program for foreign students with an expected capacity of 12 students per year.

We support internships, student exchanges, postgraduate collaboration, and programs linking student internships and graduate jobs with the private sector.

About Us

In the world of medical technology, we are observing a gradual shift in demand for individual devices towards the supply of complex technological units. Global markets are looking for solutions with significant added value and logical layouts once the solutions are functionally assembled. Long-term functionality and durability are emphasized together with a focus on quality operator training and proper aftercare. These attributes represent the best investment to ensure the sustainability of the project.

We want to implement this idea into the health technology supplies not only in developing countries but wherever there is a space for improvement. We want to become pioneers in the field of complex solutions, and to contribute to the reputation of the Czech Republic, its technologies and experts. We are eager to share our know-how and best-practice, and to present sustainability through Czech products. We believe that the cooperation between manufacturers and experts in the area of joint technological projects can be applicable in other industries too. We will be sure to make healthcare projects the best reference.
