With the goal to encourage more men and women to be proactive and check their health status, we have launched amazing wellness packages to suit anyone's pocket in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria. There are 3 types being offered this February and are available for either men or women here:
Why are these wellness checks important? 1. Catch a disease in its early stage - so you can treat it and even stop it from getting worse. It also enable you to have a medical history so in future a doctor can assess if there has been any changes that they need to diagnose further. 2. Find out of you have risk factors - sometimes you do not always see the disease or condition blow up, most times there are sik factors that show doctors what condition they may likely evolve into. Wellness checks help doctors to determine any risk factors you might have and help prevent any condition from occurring in future. 3. Protect yourself - wellness checks enable doctors to advise on what medication or lifestyle changes you need to take or make to improve your health. 4. Find a condition - you might have already developed a condition before the wellness 5. It's cheaper in the long run - catching a condition or risk factors earlier on will save you from spending a fortune in the future if a disease advances to the next stage and more serious medical procedures or medication are required. The greatest advantage of our wellness packages is that we come to you wherever you are so you do not need to move around with your probably busy schedules, and you can pay via a preferred means. To book a package for yourself or someone you love, go to valentines.zuri.health.

Meet the Zuri Health Founders

Launched in January 2021, Zuri Health aims to improve access to healthcare in Africa through mobile phone applications and services. It was an idea borne by Ikechukwu (Iyke) Anoke (in the image on the right) and Daisy Isiaho (left). Iyke's motivation to start the healthcare company was very personal. The first scenario was the birth of his first child, Zuri. His wife was in labour and the pregnancy had complications at that time and their doctor was unavailable. Their (private) hospital could not even give them a replacement to deal with the complication, as they claimed they had no access to Iyke's wife's medical history. The second scenario was when Iyke himself wasn't feeling well, and his wife, a medical doctor by profession, encouraged him to stay home while she called for someone to come take medical tests from his home. He had his results given to him over phone in less than 2 days. This sparked a thought: how amazing it would be for patients get access to healthcare from the comfort of their home, get medical prescriptions delivered, get their results without ever having to step into a hospital, and have a medical history on a digital platform that will be easy for any doctor they consult to see as long as the patient approves access to it. Daisy's story was personal too. When Covid hit Kenya, she was forced to work from home. Her mother, a medical doctor, had to leave home everyday to go and consult with patients, give prescriptions and take tests. This was worrying for Daisy who feared her mother would catch Covid-19. She wondered if there was a way to take these consultations, tests and prescriptions onto an online or mobile platform. These two ideas collided and so Zuri Health was born. Here's more about the founders: Ikechukwu Anoke
A serial entrepreneur disrupting the sub-Saharan tech space. He is also the founder and CEO of Play Group Limited, with over 17 years in the Africa continent working as a senior executive with multicultural teams at award-winning fintech Sacco, and BrandLife Marketing Agency.
