About Tautua Medical Services & Supplies
Tautua Medical Services & Supplies was established to help strengthen Samoa’s local capability to support essential healthcare technology and medical infrastructure over the long term.
The company brings together technical, engineering and healthcare quality-management experience developed in Samoa and internationally, with a strong focus on reliability, traceability, lifecycle support and sustainable local capability.
Our Purpose
Samoa increasingly depends on sophisticated healthcare technology.
Purchasing that technology is only the beginning.
Sustainable healthcare requires the people, technical capability, quality systems, maintenance infrastructure, documentation and manufacturer relationships necessary to keep equipment operating safely throughout its intended lifecycle.
TMSS exists to help build that capability locally.
