About us
NOZOMI HEALTH:
IMPROVING ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA.
Our history
Our founder, Rafael Mendoza, in his experience as president of Astrazeneca in different regions of the world and as a passionate social entrepreneur, understood and became sensitive to the difficulties that many patients face when trying to access the treatments they need.
Rafael realized that, in emerging countries, like those in our region, an innovative medicine can take up to 5 years longer to arrive than in a developed country. This represents a great obstacle for those patients who suffer from chronic and complex diseases, as well as for their doctors who face the challenge of treating and caring for their health.
That is why it was proposed to develop a business model that contributes to improving patients’ access to the most innovative treatments, without this representing an additional cost for them and at the same time, ensuring that the risk for large transnational companies is mitigated.
At Nozomi Salud, we are proud to offer our patients a wide range of innovative treatments, developed by important and recognized pharmaceutical companies worldwide that trust us, backed by rigorous scientific studies and approved by the corresponding health authorities.




We have formed a great team. We work closely with medical specialists, insurers, health centers, drugstores and pharmacies to ensure that patients receive the appropriate care and treatments for their individual needs.
Our commitment goes beyond providing access to innovative medicines. We work to develop genetic and biomolecular diagnosis centers, as well as networks of specialized pharmacies and treatment application centers where the patient and their improvement are the standard.
At Nozomi Salud, we believe that all patients deserve access to the best treatments available, regardless of their geographic location or economic situation. We are working hard to make this vision a reality, and we hope to help improve the quality of life for people in Central and South America.
