The public health systems have failed at keeping up with demand as the population grows not just in size but in average age, requiring even more specialized attention.

​

Corruption scandals plague the public institutions leaving hospitals with shortages of medicines and personnel. A massive investment program is needed to modernize current infrastructure to keep up with international standards, but politicians prefer to allocate the scarce budget to fund​ social programs that have a bigger, although short term, impact with their voting constituency.

​

To address the public health services gap, Garantia and BACKBONE partnered in raising a fund to finance SMEs (clinics, health care centers, medical offices) that provide private accessible health care services.

​The right to health should not be conditioned to income level.

We believe that innovations in the medical equipment industry offer today a great opportunity to develop medical attention units that offer excellent quality services at an affordable rate, giving a viable alternative for millions of people in middle-low and low income segments to receive the attention they deserve.​
