Wellahealth Technologies Limited, a techstar backed start-up, that provides affordable health care plan that covers basic health care services for common health conditions across Africa, with hospital cashback, has partnered with MDasS Global, another techstar backed start-up, centred on building and operating modern tech-enabled diagnostic centres in clinically underserved communities in Nigeria, to provide affordable diagnostic service and treatment to healthcare consumers and insurers.
Following the partnership, the CEO of Wellahealth Technologies, Dr Ikpeme Neto said;
“This partnership between our companies heralds a new era in technology-enabled high-quality patient care in Nigeria. Leveraging both companies’ commitment to affordability and innovation, insurers, the general public and other businesses can now access lab tests and medications from thousands of locations on both our networks highly efficiently. Our combined experience of managing hundreds of thousands of patients across every state allows us meet the basic lab testing and medication needs of millions of Nigerians”.
Oluwasoga Oni, the CEO of MDasS Global, in accord with the views of his partner stated, “Wellahealth has been at the forefront of expanding healthcare access for the Nigerian population. Given our shared mission, we at MDaaS Global are excited to partner with WellaHealth to bring modern, high-quality diagnostics to their beneficiaries across Nigeria through our fast-growing network of diagnostic centers. This partnership will see thousands of Nigerians have access to quality diagnostic and treatment experience improving health outcomes and quality of life for Nigerians”
Considering the limited access to good healthcare facilities for many Nigerians as a result of the Country’s economic situation, It is hoped that the partnership will deepen the drive of micro health insurance for middle to low income earners ultimately giving Nigerians a better access to quality healthcare services which include diagnostics and treatment, while also providing Health insurers with access to affordable diagnostics for their enrollees across Nigeria. Thus, improvinghealth outcomes and quality of life for Nigerians.
