Technovera Pty Ltd

Technovera is a social impact organisation that is focused on technology inclusion with the aim of improving the last mile for chronic medication access in Africa.

We pay attention to how technology can be leveraged as an enabler to solve some of the challenging issues in health care. Technovera develops technologies that enable access in a convenient and practical mannete
