Afya Rekod, a Kenyan-based health record management platform, has raised $2 million in seed funding to expand its services across Africa.
Mac Venture Capital, a seed-stage venture capital firm based in the United States that invests in digital firms that leverage shifts in cultural trends and behaviors, and Next Chymia, an Asian private equity firm focused on blockchain-based companies, were among the investors in the round.
The funding will be used to expand into new African markets and speed up the rollout of the company’s patient portal. This will provide patients with resources and tools to retain and manage their health data, which is a key function for chronic illness patients and their doctors.
Afya Rekod, an Adanian Labs startup, is a patient-centric health data platform that allows both patients and health facilities to capture, store, and access patients’ health data on the go.
The platform includes a variety of features for providers, including hospital management, patient management, knowledge management, and inventory management.
The technology allows patients to record their health data and have access to medical intervention. In addition, the platform compiles information on pharmacies and other important resources for easy access.
The Association of Sisterhoods of Kenya (AOSK) with over 500 hospitals across Kenya; Healthy Mind Foundation to train psychiatrists in Lagos, Nigeria; and Alchemy in South Africa to onboard private and public hospitals in Southern Africa are just a few of Afya Rekod’s key partnerships.
