What MEDPHARMA does

MedPharma Alliance International Ltd. (operating as MedPharma) is a Ghana-based telehealth platform founded in 2018 that connects patients with a network of 200+ licensed, board-certified physicians across multiple specialties via secure HD video consultations, asynchronous messaging, and digital prescription management. The platform is delivered through a web application at medpharma.care and native iOS and Android apps, and is backed by HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure with AES-256 encryption and alignment to PCI DSS, GDPR, and the Ghana Data Protection Act (Act 843). Beyond core consultations, MedPharma coordinates e-prescriptions and home medication delivery through licensed pharmacy partners, facilitates diagnostic testing with home sample collection and concierge lab services, and provides digital health record management.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve product-led onboarding (no credit card required, complimentary introductory session) with a sales-assisted motion for its WestCare subscription sub-brand. WestCare is a tiered (Standard, Premium, customizable Elite) annual subscription marketed primarily to the Ghanaian diaspora abroad, who fund healthcare coverage for dependents in Ghana via a cross-border remittance mechanism processed through approved financial service providers; the bundle includes telemedicine, prescriptions, medication delivery, an AI health chatbot called Kobikuul, health screening, insurance, and funeral cover. Revenue is generated through per-transaction consultation, prescription and diagnostic fees, insurance billing integration, and recurring WestCare subscriptions.

MedPharma reports cumulative operational scale of 50,000+ patients served, 50,000+ consultations, 100,000+ prescriptions delivered, and 25,000+ diagnostic tests facilitated, with 10,000+ WestCare clients globally and self-reported satisfaction rates of 98-99%. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors beyond a $50,000 funding event from Investing In Innovation Africa in September 2023, no parent company, no public listing, and headcount reported in the 11-50 range.
