“We see HemoScreen as a cutting-edge analyzer that can provide lab-grade diagnostics in remote regions of PNG where laboratories lack basic infrastructure and instrumentation, as well as qualified lab expertise” said Manas Sukumara Panicker, managing director at Insight Medical. “Being a tropical region, PNG has a high prevalence of vector borne diseases such as Malaria. Access to quality CBC results will certainly assist doctors in carrying out timely clinical interventions. We are confident HemoScreen will simplify the blood testing in PNG’s rural settings.”
“As our mission is to provide lad-quality blood diagnostics to anyone and anywhere, we have been striving to expand to more challenging and rural-centric regions, where HemoScreen can make a huge impact.” stated Avishay Bransky, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of PixCell Medical. “For this reason, we are extremely thrilled to form this partnership with Insight Medical who share our vision and provide services across the challenging Papua New Guinea healthcare network.”
