SEATTLE—Celo Health, a provider of a secure, globally-compliant messaging platform for health care providers, announced it has deployed its messaging app throughout Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) health care operations in 87 countries.
“We’re excited to partner with such a prestigious humanitarian organization and to help them transform their communications so it can deliver health care in crisis zones and underserved areas throughout the world," said Steve Vlok, CEO and founder of Celo. "Celo is also committed to supporting MSF's noble mission of providing free medical care to people who need it.”
MSF is an international emergency medical humanitarian organization that supports people affected by disaster, disease, conflict and exclusion. Founded in 1971, MSF has grown to an international movement of around 63,000 people in more than 70 countries.
This collaboration aims to transform communication within MSF teams, facilitating the instant secure exchange of patient-related clinical information even in the most challenging environments. Following an in-depth review process of messaging apps, MSF said it selected Celo Health for its ease of use, global compliance, affordability and reliability in challenging network environments.
MSF clinicians often rely heavily on smartphones to share critical patient information with coordination teams, peers and remote specialists. The implementation of Celo's secure messaging technology will empower the way MSF teams communicate, ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of clinical information and enabling rapid clinical decision-making that can save lives.
“Due to the sensitive nature of information discussed and shared in MSF projects globally, providing secure messaging services is a top priority for the Telemedicine program,” said Clara Mazon, director of Telemedicine at MSF. “We look forward to working with Celo to improve access to secure messaging for MSF projects worldwide.”
“MSF was also impressed by Celo’s simple yet comprehensive interface and onboarding process," Vlok said. "Our team’s due diligence and transparency around privacy and security measures also made Celo stand out among our global competitors.”
