Wellahealth:Transforming Healthcare Access Across Africa, one local pharmacy at a time

2 min read
Technology is playing a pivotal role in breaking barriers and ensuring Africans have access to global standard services and thanks to Wellahealth, health care is no different.
Wellahealth stands out emerging as one of the top tech platforms for over 2000
pharmacy partners across Africa. With a commitment to transforming health care delivery, Wellaheath is making significant strides in bridging the gap between
pharmacies, heath care providers, and patients. Wellahealth’s impact is clear in the modernised operations of pharmacies across the continent.
Their platform allows pharmacy partners access to advanced tools for
inventory management, fulfilment management,claims processing, and chronic disease management etc, to serve over 200,000 customers in Nigeria alone.
This not only enhances the efficiency of these pharmacies but also contributes to an improved of overall heath care
ecosystem as Welahealth has paid out over 1billion Naira to their partnering pharmacies impacting up to 30% of generated revenue.
