WHO ARE WE

Smartech Woman is the brainchild of Tracy Govender and one that was inspired by events experienced by one
of her family members, Brenda Mungalam, who, sadly, passed away in 2014. Brenda had, herself, been a successful businesswoman and the owner of a company she christened Industrial Woman. At the age of 38, she was admitted to hospital for an angiogram, a procedure now widely used to detect the early indications of
coronary artery distease. As a result of the findings, Brenda was required to undergo a 9-hour triple-bypass operation and remained on life support in ICU for a further twelve days. It was witnessing, first-hand, the crucial life-saving role of the various life support machines and gas equipment during those days that motivated Tracy to start her own company. Its goal – to ensure that the complex and vital support systems supplied to South Africa’s hospitals and clinics are of the highest quality and expertly installed – precautions that, for a patient, could spell the difference between life and death.
