Spektrum Medical Access
The connective tissue between technology, funding, and the people who need it.
We do not develop devices. We bring together the people, funders, and institutions required to put proven medical technology into the hands of the patients and providers who need it most.
The opportunity
The device exists. The funding exists. The connection does not.
Across the globe, there are real opportunities to enter new markets with proven, life-saving medical technology — markets where the device exists, the funding exists, and the clinical need is documented. What's missing is the connective tissue to bring all three together.
Modern, FDA-cleared, telemedicine-enabled medical devices are smaller, cheaper, and more clinically capable than ever. Donor capital flowing toward portable and digital health technology has accelerated. And yet the WHO has documented for years that up to 70% of complex medical equipment in low-income countries fails on arrival or shortly after — for lack of trained personnel, infrastructure, spare parts, and technical support. Purchase orders are not deployments.
Spektrum Medical Access exists to close that execution gap on behalf of the device makers who do not have the appetite, network, or footprint to do it themselves.
The network
Traditional distributors compete on price. We compete on access.
The team's relationships in the global health and development ecosystem — built through years of work inside that ecosystem rather than as an outsider trying to break in — mean Spektrum can reach the right people inside donor organizations, foundations, and ministries before procurements are designed, not after they are published.
Multilateral institutions. WHO and regional offices, UNHCR, UNICEF, IOM, the World Bank Group, GAVI, the Global Fund, Unitaid, the Pandemic Fund.
Foundations and philanthropic capital. The Gates Foundation network, the Wellcome Trust, the Rockefeller Foundation, CIFF, the Skoll Foundation, the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, the Rotary Foundation.
Strategic advisors to donors. McKinsey Social Sector Office, Dalberg, BCG Social Impact, Genesis Analytics, FSG.
Implementing partners on the ground. PATH, CHAI, MSF, IRC, NRC, Concern Worldwide, Save the Children, Plan International — the organizations who actually run the programs.
National ministries and procurement. Ministry of health relationships across priority geographies, regional procurement bodies, faith-based health networks, and INGO field operators delivering programs in fragile and underserved environments.
