Diagnostic Equity and Access for All
Enabling equitable access to life-saving diagnostics across Africa and beyond.
Welcome to TPN
At The Pathology Network, we believe diagnostics are the foundation of medicine and every clinician and patient deserves access to reliable, timely and affordable diagnostics they can trust.
When Diagnostics Fail, Healthcare Fails
Martha did everything right, but her biopsy results never reached her. By the time she returned to the clinic, her cancer had advanced beyond cure.
Her story revealed a deeper truth: Africa’s diagnostic crisis is not about a lack of skill, but a lack of coordination.
This failure inspired the creation of The Pathology Network and to ensure no patient is ever lost in the system again.
Driving better healthcare outcomes
Diagnostics save lives but only when they work.
In many parts of the world, pathology is under-resourced and disconnected with manual systems, fragmented logistics, and critical workforce shortages leading to lost samples, delayed reports, and preventable deaths.
In high-income countries, one pathologist serves around 25,000 people.
In much of the world, it’s closer to one per million.
That imbalance costs time, trust, and lives.
We are closing the diagnostic gap through the world’s first connected digital diagnostic infrastructure.
By digitising each step of the diagnostic journey, from sample collection to result delivery, Spes360 ensures transparency, accountability, and speed.
More than software, it is the operating system for diagnostics: a bridge between medicine, technology, and logistics that makes timely, equitable healthcare possible.
When diagnostics work, healthcare works.
We designed Spes360 as the system that connects hospitals, laboratories, pathologists and the patient.
It’s a digital infrastructure that ensures no specimen is lost, no report forgotten, and no patient left behind by centralising every step of the diagnostic journey, from test order to result delivery.
We ensure doctors have clarity, patients have certainty, and healthcare systems have the visibility they need to act on time.
