Roha Medical Campus

What Roha Medical Campus does

Roha Medical Campus is a private healthcare development company building a multi-phase advanced medical campus in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Founded in 2021, the company is developing its first hospital as part of a $130 million Phase 1 investment, with the facility expected to open in 2025. The campus is designed to deliver advanced medical treatments — particularly for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and cancer — addressing critical healthcare infrastructure gaps in Ethiopia where patients historically have had to travel abroad for sophisticated care. In parallel, the company is positioning itself as a medical tourism hub for the broader African continent, targeting patients from countries with limited access to advanced specialty care.

The underlying technology is described as advanced hospital facilities providing sophisticated medical treatments; no proprietary technology stack, digital platform, or AI/ML components are disclosed in the available data. Construction is underway on the first hospital, and the project includes a workforce development component focused on training local healthcare professionals, supporting long-term clinical capacity building rather than reliance on expatriate staffing.

Roha's business model is fee-for-service patient healthcare delivery. Revenue is expected to be generated through direct patient care — consultations, procedures, treatments, and inpatient/outpatient services — sourced from both local Ethiopian patients and cross-border medical tourists. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is expected to be quote-based, varying by procedure and treatment type. The go-to-market combines a direct local patient channel in Addis Ababa with a regional medical tourism channel targeting patients across Africa, supported by referral networks and, presumably, international patient facilitation partnerships that are not yet detailed in public sources.
