March 9, 2022 (Toronto, Ontario) – Bayer Inc., the Canadian arm of the global life sciences company Bayer, is supporting the Coordinated Accessible National (CAN) Health Network to help advance patient care across Canada through innovative technology solutions.
As a CAN Health Network partner, Bayer will help identify opportunities to introduce new technology into Canadian health care that will improve the quality of care, while creating efficiencies for a more equitable system. Combining intelligence and resources allows CAN Health and Bayer to support a larger number of Canadian companies and more rapidly introduce modern technologies to patients and staff across the country.
The CAN Health Network works directly with health-care organizations across Ontario, Western and Atlantic Canada to identify their biggest challenges and match them with Canadian-made technology solutions. The ultimate goal of this integrated market is to enable Canadian companies to be rapidly validated, procured, and scaled across the country and abroad. This not only supports the advancement of Canadian companies, but it ensures patients and staff across Canada are getting access to leading-edge health innovations.
“CAN Health’s diverse partnerships, like this one with Bayer, have the ability to help transform Canada’s health-care system by exploring new opportunities for innovation,” said Dr. Dante Morra, Chair, CAN Health Network
“The opportunity to work with the CAN Health Network is very exciting. This partnership aligns with our commitment to supporting the health of Canadians and we look forward to seeing this relationship unfold.” James Stretch, Business Unit Head, Ophthalmology, Bayer Inc., Canada
