About TIBU
TIBU is a disruptive HealthTech logistics company that connects Africa’s urban populations to high-quality healthcare services in real time and at affordable cost. In a world where creativity is unleashed through technology, developing cost-effective solutions to deliver a wide array of health services to save patients time and money is increasingly possible. Mass adoption of mobile phones, innovations in personal mobility and the advance of medical technologies have opened-up a new frontier for the healthcare industry. We created TIBU to do one thing: connect patients to high quality, affordable healthcare whenever they need it. We believe that high quality and timely healthcare should be available to all, regardless of your income bracket. Losing a days’ productivity or failing to seek care because it is inconvenient is a thing of the past and we are working hard to keep it that way. We believe the future of healthcare is bright and full of opportunity. Getting you a health worker when you need one is our mission and we look forward to bringing you the very best!
