Overview of Sanela’s services
As a member of the Sanela community, you can enjoy many advantages.
We are building a system to ensure that everyone in the healthcare sector can be accessed via a single platform. Sanela-Connect links up all stakeholders in the healthcare sector to the EPR platform via a technical connection. This complies with the legal requirements applicable to the EPR connection, while attractive B2B and B2C communication options can be used via the same connection. This results in additional benefits from an EPR not only for health professionals but also for the general public.
