Hikma Health

What Hikma Health does

Hikma Health is an independent U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization founded in 2018 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. The organization builds and distributes a mobile-first electronic health records (EHR) system designed specifically for under-resourced and acute clinical settings serving refugees, migrants, and low-income patients. The platform's distinguishing technical features include multilingual functionality, offline data capture with deferred syncing, rapidly configurable workflows, automated report generation, and a patient-data entry flow that captures essential information in under ten clicks.

The company operates on a freemium distribution model: the software is provided at zero cost to partner clinical organizations, including mobile clinics, community health organizations, NGOs, and a named partner MedGlobal. Revenue mechanics are grant- and donation-driven rather than SaaS-driven, with funding sourced from institutional partners such as 100K, Sandbox, Fast Forward, MIT Media Lab, and Harvard Business School. The organization has scaled to deployment in 18 countries (including Syria, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Pakistan, and Sudan), 20+ clinical partner organizations, and reach to 500,000+ patients cumulatively since founding.

Strategically, Hikma Health operates as a mission-driven entity that monetizes impact rather than end-user fees. The organization maintains the structural independence to avoid any affiliation with Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC despite the shared name, and has validated its model through the MassChallenge accelerator (2019) and ongoing partner scaling. Distribution is conducted through direct partner engagement and a self-service deployment documentation portal at docs.hikmahealth.org.
