E-health solutions are rapidly spreading across Africa, offering promising ways to expand healthcare access in continent.

RecoMed is a South African e-health platform founded in 2013 by Sheraan Amod to connect patients with healthcare providers across the country.

Its web-based platform allows users to search for doctors and book appointments online. It also offers a pharmacy service, with options for delivery or in-store pickup. RecoMed has no mobile app.

To help medical practices expand their reach, the startup offers a white-label solution that integrates with existing practice management software. “Our white label solution combines your provider base and RecoMed’s rich booking functionality with seamless PMA workflow integration. This scalable solution will increase bookings, improve efficiency, and boost patient convenience and satisfaction,” RecoMed states.
