2016 Progress Report

From the launch of M-TIBA to disbursing the 1000th loan and winning the FT/IFC Transformational Business Award, 2016 was an eventful year for PharmAccess. Find out more in our progress report!

In many ways, 2016 marked a transition for our organization. Although we’ve been developing and testing mobile phone-based health solutions since 2013, the past year is when it all started to come together. Not only did we launch the M-TIBA mobile health wallet in Kenya, but our mHealth labs in Tanzania, Ghana and Nigeria have also started to take shape. It was also the year in which we further developed our digital agenda. From 2017 onwards, this digital agenda will be the cornerstone to our approach.

Read more about these and other highlights in our 2016 Progress Report.
