Advatech Healthcare Europe Ltd

General information

Advatech facilitates 24 hour medical transport for governments, corporate organisations and
individual clinics. We are based in London and deliver services as well as accredited training
through existing providers. Advatech works with ambulance services, hospitals, clinics and
laboratories and ensures these services are readily and easily accessible. Our technology
allows tracking of ambulances and logistics (eg pathology samples). Our Services also
include mobile and web based medical consultations and the nationwide logistics model
ensures fast and reliable diagnostic testing.
Advatech was launched in 2005 when Mr Samit Biswas, CEO was exploring the
opportunities of Medical Tourism for India. Having had 17 years experience in the healthcare
industry Samit was well networked with all the major hospitals in India. During the process of
moving patients, tissues and samples from one region to another, it became apparent that
there were clear gaps in organising efficient medical transport. There was a need to improve
the coordination
and quality of the ‘pick up’, safe transport and ‘drop off’ facility at all times.
By 2014, a dedicated team of professionals had been recruited to run Advatech’s medical
transport services. The service has now been increased with a number of technological
innovations which run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We are now able to securely access
the entire logistics pathway and patients’ movement online and through smart phones.
We have introduced a business model TACIT (Technology, Administrative, Consultancy,
Infrastructure and Training) on which we have built our healthcare services. TACIT services
are now being expanded in the UK and there are clear long term economic benefits of
delivering these TACIT services within the UK and to other countries eg India, Pakistan and
countries within the Middle East.
Over the past 3 years, we have created a successful ambulance service and training
programme in Kolkata. Advatech has become a leader in providing air and road ambulance
services within NorthEast
India, where services have previously been lacking. The high
quality internationally recognised training programme encompassing all stages of life saving
training such as First Aid, Basic Life Support, Advanced Life Support, First Responder and
Emergency Medical Technician courses.
We aim to provide all of our clients with tracking and medical report data access on their
mobile devices. We are clearly aware of the risks involved and have provisions in place to
ensure adequate management of risks, hence services are delivered via a risk adverse
model.
At present, the focus of our business in the UK is in expanding an 'out of hours logistics
service' for pathology samples to the NHS and independent sector. There is a UK wide
requirement that is currently not being provided nationally; 24 hours a day; by any other
company in a cost effective manner. Our model will be able to positively impact the 7 day
working week currently being implemented in the NHS GP services. It will also make more
effective use of the existing laboratories and pathology reporting teams, consequently
dealing with workload and capacity issues that are inherent in all parts of the healthcare
sector.
