GMA7 has recently announced its partnership with a US based health care system Wavemaker Three-sixty Health. Wavemaker is a leading venture fund firm focus on early stage healthcare systems.
Wavemaker 360 has a robust portfolio of healthcare companies in the United States and a proven track record of growing companies from early-stage ideas to large-scale global businesses. The joint effort with GMA Ventures will enable Wavemaker 360 to gain more expertise and navigate the healthcare system in the Philippines and its surrounding areas, to support its global portfolio.
