About AfyaCall

Tanzania's Pioneer in Digital Health & Telemedicine

AfyaCall Health Services is a health technology company purpose-built to make quality healthcare accessible, available, and affordable to every Tanzanian through information technology. Branded "Daktari Kiganjani" — Swahili for "Doctor in Your Palm."

Partnering with Vodacom Tanzania Ltd., AfyaCall became the first company in Tanzania to offer 24-hour live doctor consultations via mobile phone. The service was officially launched at the 77th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (Saba Saba) by a Government Medical Officer.

In 2024, AfyaCall made East African history by deploying AI-powered health advisory via SMS to feature phone users — bringing artificial intelligence to those with the most basic devices.

Bringing specialised healthcare services to every palm — because access to a doctor should never depend on where you live or what phone you carry.
