In a landmark achievement for African health tech, WellaHealth Technologies announces reaching ₦1.4 billion in pharmacy benefits processed through its digital platform, marking significant growth in Nigeria's healthcare delivery landscape. Rather than disrupting existing healthcare infrastructure, the company has focused on empowering local pharmacies through its Wellapartner platform, transforming them into comprehensive healthcare access points. "We're not just digitizing pharmacies – we're transforming them into comprehensive healthcare access points," explains Dr. Ikpeme Neto, CEO of WellaHealth. "Our platform is enabling pharmacies to serve their communities better while building sustainable businesses."
The Wellapartner platform has revolutionized community pharmacy operations through technological innovation. It brings seamless real-time prescription verification processing, streamlined payment solutions, and comprehensive patient record tracking to local pharmacies. These innovations have established WellaHealth as one of Nigeria's largest digital pharmacy networks, with its reach extending to over 2,000 community pharmacies across all 36 Nigerian states. In 2024, the platform has successfully processed more than 300,000 patient visits while maintaining an impressive 81% partner satisfaction rate, reflecting its strong value proposition to community pharmacies.
The impact of WellaHealth's platform is evident through the experiences of its partners and its success in addressing critical healthcare challenges. Pharm Onyinye Obiji of Lanyard Pharmacy Lagos attests, "Our partnership with Wellahealth has been instrumental to our business growth with the increased footfall and revenue from patients Wellahealth sends daily to our pharmacy. The WellaPartner app makes all aspects of the partnership run smoothly, especially patient care and payments." Through its innovative approach, WellaHealth has improved medication accessibility in underserved areas, modernized inventory management systems, and built robust digital infrastructure to support healthcare delivery across Nigeria.
Looking ahead, WellaHealth continues to invest in technological advancement and strategic expansion. The company is developing enhanced analytics capabilities, broader healthcare service integration features, and new mobile solutions for patients. "Our vision extends beyond digital transformation," shares Dr. Neto. "We're building a future where every community pharmacy can serve as a comprehensive primary healthcare hub, making quality healthcare accessible to all Africans." This vision has earned recognition from key healthcare stakeholders, including the Association of Community Pharmacies in Nigeria, as WellaHealth continues to set new benchmarks for health-tech innovation in emerging markets.
