Wazima Health offers an integrated remote monitoring and screening telemedicine patient and health management Software as a Service (SaaS) for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) and women's health. The solution allows patients to perform remote screening and testing at a low cost while their medical providers can access the results in real-time for a rapid diagnosis, referral, and support for continuous care.

The venture is based on the business model that patients can subscribe to the platform or pay on a pay-as-you-go basis. Additionally, partners pay a subscription fee or on a commission basis.

To date, over 300,000 patients have been served, with over 150,000 screenings and 65,000 referrals. Wazima is especially proud that 64% of users are women. Currently, Wazima has established operations in Nigeria and Mozambique, with a pilot project in Ghana in progress. At these locations, Wazima provides employment to 20 core staff members and thus creates employment opportunities locally.
