Since
the launch of the sale of the Cardiopad in February, Himore Medical, the
startup through which Cameroonian IT specialist Arthur Zang developed the first
African medical tablet, has sold 43 kits out of the 300 already manufactured,
he revealed to Quotidien de l’Economie. 50% of kits were sold in Gabon, and
other orders were delivered to India and Nepal.
Thanks
to the income generated by these first sales (the Cardiopad kit costs FCfa 2
million), the creator of the Cardiopad indicates, Himore Medical is planning to
launch in two months the company Kimore Medical Equipements, a medical
equipment assembly unit. The plant which will be based in the Nsam area in
Yaoundé, the Cameroonian capital, is looking to recuit 150 employees in the
coming days. .
The equipment of this assembly plant, which necessitate an investment of
FCfa 100 million, we learned, will be imported from China. But, if the
financing necessary to purchase this equipment could be covered by the income
generated by the first sales, Arthur Zang admits needing to raise between FCfa
50 and 75 million to train his personnel and secure the first salaries of the
employees to be recruited. .
As
a reminder, the Cardiopad is a a device which can collect and remotely transmit
the cardiac parameters of a patient. This invention which earned international
recognition for the young Cameroonian engineer, helps compensate for the
deficiency in cardiologists in the hospitals. The founder of Himore Medical
announces for the near future the presentation of a simplified version of the
device, which enables the patient to collect themselves from their home the
most important of these cardiac parameters, without needing a specialist, and
to simply remotely send them to a doctor for analysis.
