Scaling accuracy
in diagnostics,
our organization’s motto

Destined as I was to build a career in the pharmaceutical industry — with a Master in pharmaceutical science and a Federal Diploma from the University of Geneva, a passion for drug R&D, and a position as a board member in a great family business dedicated to the distribution of pharmaceutical products — I realized the complex challenges that affect the upstream part of the healthcare value chain: diagnostic reliability. I also grasped how formidable the problem is in developing countries that don’t have the personnel, the financial resources, or the institutional and technological infrastructures that some countries have been able to create over decades. How can this still be the case in a world with such a wealth of human and technology expertise and in which connecting anything and anybody is only one click away? This was what prompted me to found HCKonnect.

Guided by a distributed and multi-cultural team of software engineers, scientific, academic, and business advisors as well as investors, HCKonnect is more than a marketplace. It’s an AI-driven collaborative and secure platform that empowers practitioners, be they in Switzerland, Northern Africa, or remote locations in Western Africa, and enables exceptional medical technologists from anywhere in the world to assist patients of all walks of life.
Share our mission and join our amazing network of talents!

Thank you!
Marwan Senhaji

The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.
