Medical
Network Africa has launched a new product called MedNetwork, a platform that
links patients and medical service providers throughout Zimbabwe.
In an
interview with techunzipped news, Medical Network Africa Director of Operations
Mr Shepherd Makovere said the platform operates via a mobile app thus the app
will give information such as a list of available medical service providers to
users.
“The
platform operates via the MedNetwork mobile app which is downloadable for free
from Google Play Store, or Apple App store, primarily the MedNetwork mobile app
will give users information such as a list of medical service providers closest
to users (whether they are doctors, pharmacies, hospitals, laboratories) their
contact details, whether they are open or closed at the time, directions on how
to get there and payment methods.
“Users can
also make bookings with doctors via the app and send their pick up locations to
an ambulance service providers in case of emergency.” He said.
Medical
Network Africa’s mission is to create and grow a network of medical services
providers across the African Continent! When asked whether they have fulfilled
the mission yet, Mr Makovere said the company strive to serve Zimbabwe first
then parallel to other nations in the future.
“Medical
Network Africa is a Zimbabwean company. Pursuant to its mission it comes
naturally that operations start in Zimbabwe where we aim to serve our own
nation first before going beyond our borders.” He said.
“We have not
worked with other countries yet but will do so once we develop our products to
adequately meet the needs of the Zimbabwe network.” He added.
When asked
how the new platform will help the people and the economy of Zimbabwe, Mr
Shepherd Makovere said the mobile app will serve users time and high transport
costs since the user will just get the information required through the app
without making much effort.
“Efficient
processes are themselves benefits to the economy, for example in these days
where transport costs are high, a user
of the app can save time and money by getting required information from a
central source which is the MedNetwork platform without having to move around
physically.” He said.
Medical
Network Africa is an internet solutions company that seeks to create and grow a
network of medical services providers across the African continent.
