One million results and a new Academy
Savics Academy welcomed its first students from Togo and Mali. Savics Enable began working with national decision-makers on long-term ownership, and DataToCare LIMS brought the laboratory workflow into one system. On 19 November, Savics announced that DataToCare had collected more than one million laboratory test results across partner countries. The lives-saved figure in the artwork is an estimate from the original announcement.

Ten years, with local teams taking the lead
On 16 February, Savics reported that all DataToCare-equipped laboratories in Togo were sending results to the national server, with support from local technicians coached through Savics Academy. Savics also announced work with Burundi’s Ministry of Public Health, supported by UNDP and the Global Fund.

What guides us
What we value.
The people who use and maintain a system should have a say in how it’s built.
Meet our people- Innovation
- Start with a real problem and test what technology can do to solve it.
- Co-creation
- Design with the people who will use and maintain the tools.
- Proximity
- Stay close to the teams and settings where the work happens.
- Humanism
- Consider what each decision means for the people it affects.
- Simplicity
- Make complex systems easier to use, understand and sustain.
From design to rollout
How we work together.
We work with ministries of health, civil society and development partners. Health workers and the teams who maintain local systems help shape the work from the start.
See the approach in practiceListen in the field
Talk with the people doing the work and follow how information moves through their day. That helps us see where records, referrals or reports get held up.
Build together
Adapt existing tools where they fit and develop what is missing. Test the changes with the people who will use them.
Implement and hand over
Connect new tools to the systems already in place and train local teams to run and maintain them.
Assess and adapt
Review how the tools are working after rollout and use what teams learn to decide what needs to change.
How we work at Savics.
The Savics Manifesto sets out the principles that guide our decisions and how we work with each other.
Read the Savics Manifesto- Self-managed organisation
- Teams organise their own work. Everyone has a voice, and we mentor colleagues to take initiative and develop as entrepreneurs.
- Transparency
- We share information about decisions, strategy and how the company operates so colleagues can collaborate and take responsibility for their work.
- Environmental responsibility
- We consider the environmental impact of how we work and look for ways to reduce it.
- Diversity
- We value cultural and gender diversity and bring perspectives from the countries where we work into our teams.
- Remote work
- Savics has worked remotely since its founding. Colleagues can choose where they work and stay available to their teams.
Who we work with
Our partners.
We work hand in hand with ministries of health, donors, international development partners, NGOs and civil society organisations worldwide to co-develop digital solutions adapted to different environments.
