Colab Health

We are committed to collaboration in healthcare, bringing communities and organizations together to establish a collective voice to address the true unmet needs in healthcare. No single organization owns healthcare, and therefore it requires a collaborative approach to ensure meaningful outcomes are achieved for those impacted by a disease. A successful collaboration is one which recognizes all stakeholders as equals and who are aligned to clear and relevant goals. We are champions of collaboration and co-creation and work with all stakeholders to help design and develop projects and programs that deliver meaningful outcomes. Only when the drug discovery and development ‘table' is an equal place for patient organizations, healthcare professionals, government bodies and the pharmaceutical industry, can we truly say that we are successfully collaborating with the community and making meaningful difference to those affected by a disease. Our purpose is to help make the ‘table' equal, by bringing communities together, enabling peer-to-peer exchanges, that bridge educational gaps and support greater access to care. From understanding the needs of patients, raising awareness of a disease, or communicating new approaches to care, we ensure programs are balanced and guided by those they represent. We provide strategic thinking to solve complex problems and help distil complex communications, to lift levels of knowledges and unite communities.
