Pitch us on your solution

MEDx eHealthCenter B.V. aims to drive universal access to public healthcare services by actively reducing and progressively eliminating existing gaps in healthcare delivery across emerging countries, using its unique set of innovative healthcare solutions to tackle the various challenges across healthcare delivery that have made ‘universal health coverage’ a utopia in most countries so far.

We anticipate to impact the lives of 20 million individuals and families in growth markets over the next 3 years. Other objectives we aim to achieve over this period of time include:

• Stimulate growth in the current GDP of healthcare in growth markets

• Stimulate a decrease in death rates by supporting local systems with even stronger processes

• Overcome resource challenges, by enabling interaction between healthcare providers

• Enhance social and emotional stability at national level by optimising reliability and accessibility of healthcare services



Film your elevator pitch
What is the problem you are solving?

The problem we address today is that of ‘Access’ to healthcare services in emerging countries. Having researched the market, we came to realise that the problem of access bears an important burden to ‘Quality’ in healthcare delivery in places where services may be accessible. As reported by McKenzie in a 2016 report, there is uneven quality in the spectrum of healthcare delivery.

In the same report, published by McKenzie in August 2016, they reveal that Misdiagnosis is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US, claiming more than 250 000 deaths per year. It is important to realise that the US is one of the few countries in the world that meets that ration of demand and supply recommended by the WHO. An average ratio of 2.3:1000. The average ratio in our target countries is 0.53:10 000, we leave to your imagination to guess the implication on deaths based on misdiagnosis annually. Keeping in mind that the healthcare system is out of pocket for a bigger portion of the population, adding even more the pressure on citizens and patients.
