The Empower Africa Business Platform is Now Live !!!
The partnership aims to enhance accessibility and convenience for patients across the country.
RecoMed, a digital healthcare marketplace, connects patients with healthcare providers through its online platform.
Discovery Vitality, a global leader in behavior change programs, brings its extensive network of providers to the partnership.
By combining their expertise, the two companies have created a platform that allows patients to easily book appointments with over 1,000 approved Discovery Vitality providers, including pharmacies, GPs, and Discovery Stores.
The service has already seen significant traction, with more than 20,000 bookings made since April 2024.
“This collaboration is a testament to Discovery Vitality’s commitment to empowering our members,” said Sheraan Amod, CEO of RecoMed.
“By simplifying the booking process, we are helping people take control of their health and well-being.”
