Affordable healthcare, through the use of technology, is the focus of this edition of the Business Day Spotlight.
Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by the team from Unu Health: CEO Tania Joffe and COO Dr Phatho Zondi.
Unu Health is a company that’s been funded by Standard Bank to help bring down healthcare costs for consumers. The company essentially used a network of doctors, pharmacies and employers on one platform to make this happen.
Virtual sessions instead of in-person are another element in the chain.
Join the discussion:
Unu is focusing its effort on the 5.5-million formally employed population that cannot afford medical aid by partnering with employers to support access to primary healthcare for their employees.
Topics of discussion include: Unu’s business model; the company’s strategy to bring down healthcare costs while maintaining profitability; the use of technology and social enterprise in healthcare; and plans for an expansion into the rest of Africa.
