Ponea Health is a Dutch-based global focused mature startup founded by experienced global entrepreneurs and is focused on the delivery of on-demand healthcare, real-time price discovery, building trust among healthcare players, improving service delivery and democratising of healthcare in Africa while enabling patients to have control of their health. We are leveraging on platform economies, fin-tech and emerging technologies like to achieve this transformation.
Our focus market includes emerging countries in Africa and South America with over a 10% middle class, mature SME’s, good adoption of Internet and Mobile and a fragmented Health Market Place. Kenya is our first test and launch market. Our contribution to Africa and other emerging markets that suffer from a highly fragmented, inefficient & inadequate private healthcare sector is to leverage the technology to drive access and ower costs to citizens living in urban areas.
The Ponea’s ecosystem vision to grow in emerging markets provide unique competitive advantages from lower healthcare costs, convenience, discretion, trust and efficiency to all healthcare players and patients. Ponea Health first test and launch market will be in Kenya followed by South Africa and then onwards to selected markets in Africa & Latin America.
