A potential dreamer and a journalist by
profession, Makana Kennedy Ndyamuhaki has ventured into making his dreams come true diving into telehealth entrepreneurship with a vision to revolutionise healthcare necessities through providing specialist consults, online and offline appointment scheduling, an inpatient module covering patient charts, patient queuing, ward rounds, referrals, nurse notes, bed management and setting medical reminders to ensure timely adherence.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Makana narrated, there was no access to healthcare services with hospitals overwhelmed and patients hesitation to visit hence making the need for telehealth more critical.
“With a background deeply rooted in journalism, it brings a unique perspective to the world of telehealth through the ability to investigate, analyse and articulate complex issues which have became a driving force behind the development of Smart Health”, he said.
Makana’s journey from reporting on societal issues to Telehealth entrepreneurship shows that his vision goes beyond mere business success to democratizing and addressing critical gaps in healthcare services particularly in undeserved communities to make it convenient, more affordable and efficient to people.
