Welcome to Synige Medx…where saving lives is our business!

Synige MedX exists to challenge the current model for healthcare provision, through innovative structuring that reduces the direct and indirect cost of medical care.

Due to our extensive experience accrued in pre-hospital emergency care, our business model is based on a comprehensive Medical Emergency Readiness Plan (MERP) which entails five aspects:

WELLNESS AWARENESS - Consulting, Workshops, Screening & Testing
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY - Risk Assessment & Compliance
SUPPLY - Equipment & Consumable Medical Supplies
EVENT MEDICAL MANAGEMENT - Consulting & Staffing
TRAINING - CPR, First Aid, AED, Fire & Heights

MERP identifies resources (People, Equipment, and Procedures), both internal and external that can be called upon to provide aid in a medical emergency. On implementation of MERP, you are assured that a reliable, steadfast, auditable and responsible medical plan, based on your specific needs, is in place whereby laypersons and dedicated first responders within your company are trained and equipped to save lives!

PLAN

assess medical threats, to action and respond appropriately.

Prevent

illness and injury as it is more economically sustainable than treatment.

PROVIDE

education, training and advanced emergency care.

About

In 2015, Simon, Nicholas and George incubated the concept of what is now SynigeMedX. The name Synige originates from the three partners first names also…. because it sounded cool and smart!
The executive management model SynigeMedX has chosen, is of a proactive board that speaks as one voice and is a good model because the CEO and the board are on the same page and speak with a single voice.

GEORGE SCOLA

Chief Business Officer (CBO)

george@synigemedx.com

After many years working for a local bank, George left to start-up his own company specialising in mortgage origination and debt consolidation which eventually lead to the establishment of a funding platform to enable loans originated, to be securitized.

Out of the blue, on the morning of 26th of April 2008, George aged 37, suffered an Ischemic stroke which left him with a right hemiparesis and expressive aphasia. Within 10 months of his stroke his business suffered and collapsed…along with his marriage.

In 2010, frustrated after reaching out and searching for support and not finding what he needed and/or required at the time, George co-founded The Stroke Survivors Foundation (SSF), a non-profit organization (www.strokesurvivors.org.za), the aim of which is to provide support to other stroke survivors and their families, and to create stroke awareness in South Africa,

In 2016 George was elected on to the World Stroke Organisation Board of Directors. (http://www.world-stroke.org/)

With George’s first-hand experience and understanding the value and importance of both paramedic and/or first responders in a medical emergency, he jumped at the opportunity to partner with seasoned and experienced Paramedics.

George is passionate about SynigeMedX’s vision and due to his limitations from the stroke, his role and responsibility is the administration, financial, and operational management of the company.

Adapt. Improvise. Overcome!
