Meet Unu
Hello. We are Unu. We do healthcare that makes youđ
We come to work every day to extend Africaâs life expectancy by one year. And then, beyond.
Unu is a platform that disrupts how people access, pay for and experience primary healthcare. We believe that good health is at the heart of Africaâs productivity, prosperity and potential.
âThatâs why weâre on this journey
The facts that motivate us...
We learned
Africaâs life expectancy lags 10 years behind the global average.
We asked
How can we use technology to add just one more year of life as our starting point?
We learned
Our share of the global health spend is just 1%, yet we carry 25% of the worldâs disease burden.
We asked
How can we connect the best in innovation and drive investment through one holistic platform?
We learned
95% of our people rely on state healthcare.
We asked
How can we help alleviate pressure on the state system by using tech to improve capacity?
If we increase life expectancy on
the continent by just one year...
OUR POTENTIAL IMPACT
Together we can increase GDP by 4%
This is our goal, because we know that without access to quality primary healthcare, individuals canât thrive, businesses canât grow, communities cannot flourish â and Africa cannot prosper.
OUR POTENTIAL IMPACT
Together we can improve quality of life, for longer
This is our goal, because we know that access to quality primary healthcare empowers people to proactively manage their health, creating enhanced quality of life for more people to enjoy.
