Startup of the Week: Yodawy – The Healer of Egypt’s Healthcare Industry 

Nowadays, our smartphones are our genies. We swipe them, and simply select the app that would make our wish come true. From groceries’ shopping, to food delivery, to renting cars and homes, all these demands and more are all met through user-friendly apps. All industries’ players are aware now of the crucial role technology plays in our daily lives, and the healthcare industry is no exception. This is exactly what urged Karim Khashaba, Sherief El-Feky and Yasser AbdelGawad to launch Egypt’s leading digital health platform; Yodawy.

Founded in 2018, Yodawy has introduced the region’s first Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) solution where it connects pharmacies, health insurance providers, and patients through a sophisticated cloud-based approval engine in order to serve a wider customer base faster. The platform works on many levels with different benefactors, enabling patients to have their medicines and products delivered, insurance companies to automate approvals, and pharmacies to boost their sales through e-commerce servicing.
