A revolutionary approach

Our team believes that the development of new biomedical technologies that start from the real needs and from the analysis of the environmental-cultural context, can reduce the gap in health care that exists between the countries of the world.

In the era of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the health care discrepancy between countries is no acceptable.

To satisfy the SDG3, Corax wants to fight the critical components of public health, in particular with objective 3.2 to prevent infant mortality.
