Accessibility

Providing accessible healthcare is Popolo’s goal. We are committed to use our knowledge and technology as tools to turn that vision into reality.

Doctor and Patient

The Significance of Accessibility 

Although many medical technologies have been developed and proven effective for a long time, and access to healthcare should be a universal right for everyone, there are still many people who cannot access these treatments due to economic status. If you do not have health insurance or sufficient funds for medical care, you will not receive treatment.

 

Many ASEAN countries are aware of these human rights issues and are striving to push for public healthcare rights and change health policies to improve the quality of life for their citizens continuously. However, there are still significant challenges, especially for the middle-income group, which is to support access to treatment without impacting financial stability. Thus, accessibility is a top priority for Popolo in developing medical equipment to ensure that technology can be used to enhance people's lives.

Our starting point;

We ask ourself “Why”

Esophageal variceal bleeding is a condition that can cause death in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. 

  • The mortality rate in Thailand is higher than in the United States. 

  • Treatment for this condition has been available many decades. 

  • One reason for this is that the cost of medical device exceeds the current reimbursement rate.
