Tanzania: Russian Firm Targets Universities With Medical Tech

What the report says

NEUROSOFT, a Russian medical equipment maker, has begun discussions with universities in Tanzania about introducing advanced diagnostic tools through training and research programmes, according to Daily News via AllAfrica. The talks are aimed at helping medical students, resident doctors and researchers gain hands-on exposure to digital equipment used to assess the nervous system, brain activity, muscle function, heart health and hearing.

The company’s senior representative, Fedor Fomin, said it is working with some higher learning institutions to embed its devices in medical education and research. He noted that the systems connect to computers and mobile devices rather than relying on paper printouts, which can make it easier to store patient information and share data with specialists for remote consultations.

Fomin also said Neurosoft is promoting smartphone- and cloud-based remote cardiac monitoring for patients with arrhythmias or those recovering from serious heart conditions. He added that infant hearing screening is another focus, describing early detection as important for timely treatment and better developmental outcomes. The report says the company spoke about the initiative at the 27th Medexpo Tanzania 2026 in Dar es Salaam.

This is Neurosoft’s second appearance at the trade exhibition in Tanzania, after entering the market two years ago. The company said some of its equipment is already in use in local facilities, especially in cardiac and hearing diagnostics. More broadly, the report places this effort within Neurosoft’s wider expansion across Africa, including partnerships in Nigeria, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
