Founded and managed by highly-trained Filipino scientists, Manila HealthTek, Inc. (M-Tek, Inc.) is the first of its kind in the Philippines. Infectious diseases have become endemic in many remote, impoverished local municipalities. The company seeks to aid local hospitals, rural health units (RHUs) and other medical organizations in their mission to improve universal access to basic health services by providing timely medical intervention through the development and manufacture of affordable, portable diagnostic kits which will detect specific infectious diseases within both the Philippines and the Asia Pacific.M-Tek, Inc. will also be conducting extensive research into emerging biotechnologies using the isothermal platform to design cutting edge point-of-care molecular diagnostic tools that are as rapid and accurate as the most advanced devices on the market, at a fraction of the cost.Scale-up manufacturing and commercialization of the resulting product pipeline will present an excellent opportunity to contribute to the macroeconomic growth of the country, and provide jobs to a new generation of young academics within the scientific community.By adhering to internationally recognized standards, and combining innovation and advocacy, the team hopes to establish the Philippines as a leader in the field of molecular biology research, and bring health-related technologies closer to the Filipino people.
