The Hon. Philip Dalidakis MP, Minister for Trade and Investment, Innovation and

"The ANDHealth+ program will support Kesem
Health's continued progress in the commercialization of our novel technology.
It also complements the FDA-clearance of the iUFlow™ solution and the company’s
effort working towards a CE Mark for the utilization of the iUFlow™ solution in
the EU market”, said Kesem Health's CEO, Gil Hidas.
Bronwyn Le Grice, Managing Director and CEO of
ANDHealth said: “We are excited to be working with Kesem Health over the next

commercialisation landscape that would otherwise leave companies like Kesem
Health without expert support and guidance to progress their technology.”
