Altron HealthTech, a division of the Altron group and a leader in healthcare technology solutions, is expanding its reach in Namibia with the launch of Elixir Live. Elixir Live is a comprehensive, cloud-based healthcare practice management system designed to streamline clinical and operational processes while empowering healthcare practitioners with secure, data-driven tools to improve patient outcomes that will be hosted within the borders of Namibia, making it compliant with Namibian privacy laws and offering excellent data security.
“The introduction of Elixir Live into Namibia is both a strategic and geographical move by Altron HealthTech to support the growing demand for digitised, secure, and locally hosted healthcare practice management solutions in Namibia. The expansion of Elixir Live into Namibia is about equipping healthcare professionals with the right tools to deliver personalised, proactive care and enable sustainable business models.” says Shaun Ehmke, Senior Manager: Channels at Altron HealthTech.
The expansion will be facilitated via partnerships with local dealers such as Medcon and strategic organisations such as MediSwitch Namibia. MediSwitch Namibia is the foremost provider of electronic claims delivery services in Namibia, providing the very essential in-country support, implementation, and training, all of which are crucial for the successful rollout and deployment of the Elixir Live solution into Namibia.
“Namibia’s healthcare sector has experienced over 400% growth in private healthcare professionals in the past few years, and this surge demands modern, localised technology infrastructure,” says Lencia van Dyk, Country Manager at MediSwitch Namibia. “Elixir
Live is not only hosted within Namibian borders, thereby ensuring compliance with local data regulations, but it also delivers the tools our healthcare professionals need to manage patient care proactively and efficiently through functionality such as Engage Mx that is embedded in the practice management application.”
Elixir Live supports everything from appointment scheduling and billing to credit control, clinical insights, and patient engagement. It integrates seamlessly with Altron HealthTech’s ecosystem including switching capabilities and overall business reporting
on the financial state of the business, and Engage Mx, a personalised patient communication platform, to create an interoperable, cloud-first healthcare experience. Other features of this solution include the ability to localise the product, from currency integration to compliance with regional data laws.
This move forms part of a broader expansion roadmap by Altron HealthTech in Namibia. Central to this expansion is the belief that digital healthcare, when delivered responsibly and inclusively, can radically improve lives, one patient at a time. “Ultimately
the patient is the one that gets the best care and experience,” concluded Ehmke. “With Elixir Live, Altron HealthTech is able to provide proactive engagements, personalised care and better chronic disease management to Namibian patients”
