Prime Medical Solutions is a virtual and mobile healthcare service provider that leverages technology to improve how patients consume healthcare. Many Africans live far from basic healthcare facilities such as clinics and hospitals, but thanks to Prime Medical Solutions, these patients can consult with doctors every week using a basic video phone and via a monthly face-to-face visit at their homes. Prime Medical Solutions takes advantage of the 40% internet penetration in Africa to tackle access to healthcare both practically and financially – targeting digitally-savvy medical aid members. The company offers patients end-to-end care without them having to leave their homes by integrating the healthcare journey. Prime Medical Solutions’ digital platform also enables healthcare providers to improve their service offering and the ability to claim from medical insurance. The company is registered with all medical aid service providers in South Africa and has agreements with blue chip organisations such as Eskom. Prime Medical Solutions currently operates in Cape Town and Johannesburg and is now looking to enter the KwaZulu-Natal market and, thereafter, the SADC region.
