About TAIRIS Medical

TAIRIS Medical is a Dutch company dedicated to accelerating the adoption and scale-up of medical devices, equipment and digital health solutions in local (including low-resource) settings. Their vision is that local healthcare systems should be able to provide affordable, accessible solutions for early diagnosis, effective treatment and patient care. | Sources: tairis-medical.org ; tairis-medical.org

Their mission emphasises: bridging the gap between “cutting-edge medical technologies and their practical implementation” through value-driven, inclusive and circular systems, covering telemedicine, artificial intelligence, frugal innovation and sustainable healthcare.

Collaborations with GHH-partners

Based on publicly available information on TAIRIS Medical’s website and open web search, there are no explicitly documented projects naming specific GHH partners as co-implementers.

TAIRIS does clearly position itself as a connector working with healthcare providers, NGOs, academic institutions and start-ups to adopt and scale innovations, so collaboration potential with many GHH partners is high, but concrete named partnerships could not be verified in open sources. | Sources: tairis-medical.org ; tairis-medical.org ; tairis-medical.org
