Launched in March, Berry Health is an online medical service intended for the Ghanaian market with a focus on providing treatment for a range of conditions such as hair loss, dermatology, mental and sexual health.
Berry Health’s ambitious vision is centered upon an intuitive, customer-friendly website that intends to: “Provide easy and affordable healthcare to everyone in Ghana regardless of gender, class, or lifestyle by overcoming shame and stigma.” The company has quickly become the number 1 online medical platform in the country.
Prospective patients can access the platform via mobile phones or computers. Once they have created an account, they can speak to a doctor online, receive a personalised treatment plan and buy medicine directly from the website all at an affordable price. All medications will be delivered by the company nationwide.
With a burgeoning population of over 33 million, Ghana is certainly no stranger to technology, yet bridging the healthcare gap between the city, rural, and remote areas sits at the very heart of this innovative, high tech company.
Berry Health’s Director of Public Relations, Makafui Ayimey states: “Many people choose to suffer in silence resulting in easily treatable conditions descending into chronic illness. Our aim is to offer consultation, diagnosis, and prescription services at the convenience of the patient whilst embracing industry standard confidentiality.”
In protecting patients and slowly working to face the stigma surrounding certain conditions, prescriptions are delivered discreetly to the patient’s doorstep. Essentially, our vision is to provide a seamless, hassle-free online consultancy circumventing the challenges of going from medical centre to hospital to pharmacy.”
Based primarily in Accra and London, the ever-expanding team is already reaping the benefits of a flourishing customer base, already boasting a 4.8 on Google reviews rate, with a satisfied customer, ‘H.A’, stating: “I was really desperate till I saw it Berry Health and I don’t regret it going for it.
