Chefaa: A Pioneering Initiative Revolutionizing Healthcare in Egypt
Chefaa, an innovative initiative in the healthcare sector, was co-founded by Dr. Rasha Rady to provide easy access to medications in Egypt, where a staggering 92% of the population lacks health insurance.
Launched in 2017, this project stands out for its ability to connect patients with nearby pharmacies through a mobile application. This service enables users to order their medications online and receive them within just two hours, simplifying access to treatments for millions of Egyptians.
This groundbreaking work has earned Rady a spot among the top 10 finalists of the Africa's Business Heroes 2024 competition, with the grand finale taking place in Kigali, Rwanda, on December 5, 2024.
Chefaa exemplifies a transformation of the Egyptian healthcare system, offering a concrete and free solution for numerous patients seeking quality care without logistical constraints.
