Access to quality medicine remains a major challenge across Africa, not because drugs are unavailable, but because the systems that distribute them are often inefficient and fragmented. In Nigeria, Remedial Health is changing that reality by building a technology-driven solution that strengthens how medicines reach communities.
Founded in 2020 by pharmacist and entrepreneur Samuel Okwuada alongside Victor Benjamin, Remedial Health was created to modernise the pharmaceutical supply chain. The company focuses on empowering neighbourhood pharmacies, hospitals, and medicine vendors with the tools they need to operate efficiently and grow sustainably.

Over the years, Remedial Health has grown into a full-stack digital platform that combines procurement, inventory management, logistics, data analytics, and financial services. Through a single system, healthcare providers can access verified medicines, manage stock in real time, and receive flexible financing to keep their shelves filled.
The platform addresses one of the biggest challenges facing healthcare providers in Nigeria: cash flow. Many pharmacies struggle to stock essential medicines due to limited capital. Remedial Health solves this by offering inventory financing that allows providers to buy now and pay later, improving availability while protecting business stability.
Today, the company serves more than 10,000 pharmacies, hospitals, and healthcare businesses across Nigeria. Its network connects providers to hundreds of verified pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors, ensuring access to quality-assured medicines. Pharmacies using the platform have reported improved efficiency and notable increases in profitability.
Remedial Health’s rapid growth earned it recognition in 2025 as Africa’s fastest-growing healthtech company by the Financial Times. The milestone highlights the company’s strong performance and its growing importance within the healthcare ecosystem.
Investor confidence has also followed this growth. With backing from local and international investors, Remedial Health has secured funding to expand its services and deepen its inventory financing solutions. This support reflects belief in the company’s long-term vision and its ability to scale responsibly.
Beyond business growth, Remedial Health plays a wider role in strengthening healthcare delivery. By prioritizing verified suppliers and regulated distribution, the company helps reduce the circulation of counterfeit medicines. Its data-driven approach also brings greater transparency to the pharmaceutical value chain.

Remedial Health’s journey shows how technology can unlock value in essential sectors.
