Show Notes
Pharmacies are found in almost every community in East Africa, however the way in which they are currently operating leaves a lot of room for improvement
The business is largely run from pen, paper and phone meaning shop owners don’t have the visibility on how everything is run.
Beyond this though, there is a huge potential to drive change in the medical space through formalising the way in which medicine is delivered across the region.
In this episode Jess Vernon, CEO of Maisha Meds and I discuss how her technology company is using data to improve how local pharmacies are run and their ambitions to transform the broader industry.
