Transforming healthcare for all
Advancing health and longevity for millions across Africa.
How it all started
As doctors, we've experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows the current healthcare system has to offer. We have helped our patients defeat some of the most formidable diseases. But we have also seen them put in debt by exorbitant medical bills. Worst of all, those who lost their lives to diseases that are 100% preventable. As trained doctors, we couldn't sit back and not do something to fix this.
So we teamed up with a bunch of smart, big-hearted people from healthcare, technology, business, and beyond — the kind of people who thrive on challenges that matter. Together we are changing how healthcare is accessed, delivered, paid for, and experienced. This is a new kind of healthcare system, putting the patient at the center.
Medikea began in Dar es Salaam. Today we care for patients across four cities — Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Arusha and Morogoro — with care that saves you time and money, and one record that follows you to every visit.
Seven values. One operating system. Never settle.
The principles that guide every clinic, every consult, and every result — one patient, one record, every visit.
Raise the Bar
We hold every clinic, every consult, and every result to the same high standard.
Go Deeper
We look past the symptom to understand the whole person and the real cause.
Move Fast
Care shouldn't wait — we remove the delays between you and feeling better.
Be the Driver
We take ownership of your outcome instead of passing you along.
