In recent years, health tech startups have been providing valuable alternatives to populations. In Zambia, a tech entrepreneur has taken a significant step to facilitate access to health sector information by launching a digital solution.

MedSearch Zambia is an e-health solution developed by a Zambian startup. It enables users to access comprehensive information related to the health sector in the country. Founded in 2018 by Zanga Musakuzi and based in the capital Lusaka, the startup aims to enhance how Zambian populations search for healthcare services.

"We have developed a medical directory application, which works as a health information Hub and guide that allows users who are in search of specific health services or medication to quickly and easily find one near them regardless of their location," the startup states.

Its mobile application is available on iOS and Android and has been downloaded over a thousand times from the Play Store. After downloading, users create an account to access MedSearch Zambia's healthtech services. To ensure credibility and reliable information on its web and mobile platforms, the app partners with a wide range of healthcare providers, including pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and even agroveterinary service providers.

Beyond providing health sector information, the startup offers medical research advice, customized training for organizations, and a "Water and Sanitation" department. It also features a medical tourism service that enables people to seek treatment in India.
