“Having already forged partnerships with international players in digital health, installed a first digital pathological diagnosis center in the kingdom [of Morocco] and started serious discussions in African countries with high potential for cancer diagnosis, the startup today aspires to expand the network of laboratories in Morocco and Africa, then to consolidate the network and logistics necessary to increase the volume of data to be integrated and processed within the platform,” a statement from the statement further noted.
