Health Partners, formerly Duradiamond Healthcare, prides itself on being clinically led, focusing entirely on delivering high quality occupational health, it has invested significantly in its infrastructure and occupational health platform, Gateway - a gold standard in the market. We selected Health Partners as its occupational health services fit with existing corporate contracts and will enable our corporate clients to seamlessly benefit from outstanding occupational health services.
