VIVAT Health Solutions

What VIVAT Health Solutions does

VIVAT Health Solutions is a Zimbabwe-based integrated healthcare group that operates eight wholly-owned business units under the parent company ProAscend Private Limited, which has held 100% ownership since a 2016 restructuring from the original Altfin Health entity founded in 2010. Its operating surface spans BonVie (a medical aid scheme accepted at 120+ partner clinics and pharmacies), Charter Medical Centre (a hospital offering advanced imaging and surgical services including laparoscopic procedures), retail pharmacy branches, the ClearView optometry chain, pathology and diagnostic laboratories, Privos Pharma (pharmaceutical wholesale distribution), primary care clinics, and the VIVAT Dynamics health technology arm, with operations across at least five Zimbabwean cities including Harare, Masvingo, Bulawayo, Gweru, and Guruve.

The group's technology layer centers on the HealthTrack mobile application, launched in 2025, which reached 5,000+ downloads in its first month and is positioned as the digital front door linking members to imaging, lab results, and consultations. Future product intent disclosed by the company includes telehealth, mobile payments, and AI-powered symptom checkers, though none of these are currently deployed. The 2025 service line upgrade added CT scanning, mammography, 3D ultrasound, and laparoscopic surgical capability, supported by training of 20+ nursing and surgical staff.

The business model combines recurring medical aid premiums (BonVie membership plans segmented for civil servants, SMEs, and low-income families, with 3,000+ members signed in the 2025 soft launch), fee-for-service hospital and diagnostic revenue, retail pharmacy margins, optical retail (including an online frames channel), and B2B pharmaceutical wholesale through Privos Pharma. The group is privately held with no disclosed revenue, funding, or valuation.
