HanGenixtm Solutions, Inc. Secures Series-A Investment Funding from Global Health Impact Fund (GHIF)

ATLANTA, Feb. 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HanGenixtm Solutions, Inc. (HanGenixtm), a digital healthcare solutions company, has recently secured Series-A funding from Global Health Impact Fund (GHIF) ? a rapidly growing boutique clinical investment fund ? to support its innovative, ultrasound-based hand hygiene technology, developed in conjunction with Massachusetts General Hospital. Poor hand hygiene is the number one cause of spreading infection and it is currently estimated that healthcare organizations are less than 50% compliant with current World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.

HanGenixtm is helping hospitals improve hand hygiene compliance through real-time feedback to healthcare workers before and after patient contact ? according to the WHO Five Moments for Hand Hygiene guidelines ? as well as robust analytics for hospital management.  The HanGenixtm Compliance Assurance System can help verify compliance with patient-provider protocols to prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs). Through HanGenixtm Compliance Assurance data, healthcare institutions now have a reliable means of measuring compliance across entire healthcare systems.

"This important strategic investment by GHIF demonstrates the confidence that the healthcare industry has in our technology as a critical component in helping to eradicate HAIs," stated Jeff Kline, CEO of HanGenixtm. "This infusion of capital will allow us to move beyond our successful pilots in several U.S. and international hospitals, to the commercialization and further implementation of the system in healthcare facilities globally."

"HanGenixtm offers an almost ideal investment environment for our fund," says Robert E. Sweeney, DA, MS, a Principal of GHIF. "The leadership has over fifty years of experience in hospital-focused business development, their product focuses on a known, serious quality-of-care issue in care delivery, and their board of directors is perhaps the strongest small-company leadership team we've encountered in 35 years of interactions with healthcare enterprises."

HanGenixtm engaged Frost & Company LLC of Nashville, TN as investment banking advisors and Morris, Manning & Martin LLP of Atlanta, GA for legal services. The Series-A investment transaction was completed on January 11, 2019.
