Nairobi-based eHealth startup, Zuri Health, has announced the launch of its mobile app which is expected to facilitate its mission of providing affordable healthcare to Kenyans by making it easier to reach medical doctors.

A statement that was seen by Business Elites Africa quoted the startup’s Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Arthur Ikechukwu Anoke, to have said that the app will specifically be of help to Kenyans in underserved communities.

“Zuri Health is very personal to me. Millions of people in Africa do not have access to quality medical care. At Zuri Health we have taken time to develop a product that will fill that gap, giving doctors a wider and easier platform to reach patients who need them. With Zuri Health the underserved populace can now access affordable and sustainable healthcare,” Arthur Ikechukwu Anoke said.
