Duniya Healthcare

Duniya Healthcare addresses the critical issue of limited access to essential medicines in rural Africa, where inefficiencies in the supply chain result in chronic shortages and high costs. By leveraging a hub-and-spoke supply chain model, Duniya Healthcare connects underserved rural areas with urban pharmaceutical wholesalers, making it economically viable for medicines to reach remote locations. The platform aggregates demand from rural health facilities and pharmacies, enabling bulk purchasing at lower costs. Through partnerships with organizations like the Catholic Church, Duniya Healthcare facilitates the distribution of medicines to 75 rural mission hospitals in Zambia, preventing an estimated 1,820 deaths annually. With its B2B marketplace and group-buying platform, Duniya Healthcare is improving healthcare access for rural, marginalized populations, particularly women and children, while reducing the logistical barriers that have historically made medicines inaccessible in these regions.
