In partnership with Medevice Africa Ltd, Origin has developed a framework  to develop a range of medical devices appropriate to Africa’s health needs. In this regard Origin provides a framework for engineers and scientists to solve the challenges identified by industry. Development of two devices is underway under this framework.

In partnership with Villgro Africa, Origin has developed a framework for recruiting innovators and researchers with groundbreaking solutions for the health sector for incubation as fellows by Villgro Africa.  It recruited two team fellows who were subsequently incubated by Villgro so as to fully develop their innovations for scaling up.      

Origin is working with a large network of biomedical engineers who have innovated to address challenges. Thus in addition to developing medical technology, Origin is creating a manufacturing system to support scaling up of the innovations.  To this end there is a need for more partners to enable the biomedical industry to reach a level where economies of scale are realized.
