Maisha Meds

Maisha Meds is a healthcare technology organization working to improve access to affordable, quality care across Africa. It builds software for private pharmacies, drug shops, and clinics, particularly providers in low-connectivity settings who may otherwise rely on paper-based processes. Its business tools help facilities manage inventory and sales, and the organization reports that pharmacies using its point-of-sale software increased revenues by an average of 24% in their first year.

Through the same platform, Maisha Meds offers opt-in, evidence-backed patient programs in areas including malaria and HIV. These combine medicine supply chains, targeted reimbursements, and AI-assisted auditing to support better care at lower cost. The organization also turns anonymized, real-time data from medicine sales into insights for governments, funders, researchers, and businesses.

Maisha Meds says its network includes 6,000 health facilities and logs 35 million patient visits annually. It operates in Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, and Tanzania, has active sites in Zambia, and plans to expand to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
