Our Mission

To eliminate healthcare workforce shortages across East Africa by creating a seamless, transparent, and trusted direct-matching marketplace for healthcare facilities and verified medical professionals.

Our Vision

A region where no patient suffers due to an understaffed clinic or missing specialist, and every qualified clinician has instant access to flexible work, fair compensation, and rapid digital payments.

OUR CORE VALUES

What Drives Our Work

Trust through verification

Every clinician's license is checked directly against KMPDC, the Nursing Council or PPB before their profile goes live — facilities never have to take a CV's word for it.

Speed for both sides

A shift that used to take weeks to fill through word-of-mouth or a slow agency process can be posted, matched and confirmed in under a day.

Fair, direct pay

Clinicians see the fixed rate upfront, the facility commits to it the moment they are hired, and payment is released once the shift is confirmed done — no chasing invoices.

Built for this region

County-by-county coverage, M-Pesa-first payouts, and regulator relationships specific to Kenya and East Africa — not a global platform with Africa bolted on.

OUR JOURNEY

Key Growth Milestones

2023

Founded in Nairobi

Started after watching a Nakuru clinic lose a locum nurse to a three-week word-of-mouth hiring cycle — while qualified nurses sat idle waiting for leads.

2024

Regulator-verified profiles

Built direct verification flows with KMPDC, the Nursing Council of Kenya and PPB, so a facility can trust a profile the moment it appears.

2025

Expanded across East Africa

Grew from Kenya into Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan, matching the region clinicians already move within.

Today

Same-day M-Pesa payouts

Every hire is agreed at a fixed rate upfront. Once the clinician confirms the shift is done and the facility signs off, the payout lands in their balance.
