Imagine walking 50km to see a doctor versus getting treated from your phone. In Kenya, there’s just one doctor for every 5,000 people, far below the WHO’s recommended standard. Long queues, high costs, and staff shortages make access difficult.
In this episode of Rooted in Health II, Anne Chisa speaks with Dr. Karl Daniel, a medical doctor and healthcare entrepreneur, on how TIBU Health’s hybrid model is making healthcare accessible through in-person care, pharmacies, mobile clinics, and telemedicine.
Key issues covered:
Challenges in Kenya’s healthcare system and the impact of COVID-19
How TIBU Health integrates teleconsultation, pharmacies, and clinics
Building trust in digital health and adapting to cultural realities
Partnerships, insurance, and scaling across Kenya and beyond
Dr. Daniel’s 10-year vision for healthcare in Africa
