This is Our Story
TFHC was born out of a visionary initiative led by Philips in Gujarat, India, in collaboration with the Netherlands Embassy, who saw an opportunity to link Dutch government support programs to the international sale of medical imaging equipment.
This approach proved highly effective and sparked the idea to establish a dedicated platform to help Dutch Health organizations expand globally.
This vision laid the groundwork for what TFHC is today: a dynamic and inclusive network that supports the Dutch LSH sector to strengthen health systems around the world.
Our Global Network
Through strong public-private partnerships, we turn innovation into impact, building better healthcare, together.
Today, TFHC has built strong relationships in more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Our approach is rooted in collaboration. We harness the power of partnerships and diverse perspectives to tackle healthcare challenges and create long-lasting impact.
TFHC collaborates closely with public and private organisations. These partners play a vital role in advancing sustainable healthcare solutions worldwide.
They provide essential support through policy, expertise, funding, and international networking, helping open doors to new markets, and enabling effective collaboration.
Proudly Collaborating With
Task Force Health Care (TFHC) maintains long term strategic collaborations with crucial public entities such as ministries, embassies, knowledge institutes, and development banks, essential to advancing sustainable healthcare worldwide.
