MyMedikoz
Organization Details
MyMedikoz is addressing the inaccessibility and fragmentation of medical records for the 1.2 billion uninsured patients across Africa due to 80% prevalence of paperbased tools. We're building a mobile-first patient centric app that empowers patients to conveniently aggregate, access, and share their medical records from various healthcare facilities.
Impact Story
MyMedikoz was born out of a deeply personal experience: my mother nearly lost her life during a medical emergency because I could not provide her medical history in time. The hospital administered a drug she was allergic to, simply because they lacked access to her records. In addition, becaus she is uninsured, the bill was too high neccisitating us to take a loan to cover it. This tragic event revealed a widespread crisis in African healthcare. MyMedikoz exists to solve this. By empowering individuals with control over their health and data, we are working to improve healthcare access, reduce medical errors, enhance continuity of care,improve insurance eligibility and save lives.
Our impact stretches across patients, healthcare providers, and insurers. For uninsured patients, MyMedikoz helps build a verified comprehensive health history that supports eligibility for insurance by documenting diagnoses, treatments, and prescriptions over time. Healthcare providers—including hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies—benefit from streamlined workflows, reduced administrative burden, and improved care coordination. Our platform ensures real-time access to accurate medical data, enabling faster, more informed decision-making. Through API integration, MyMedikoz connects seamlessly with existing electronic health record (EHR) systems, enhancing interoperability and reducing the duplication of tests and prescriptions. This interconnected ecosystem not only improves health outcomes but also builds a more efficient, transparent, and inclusive healthcare infrastructure across Africa.
