Empowering Access Through AI & Technology
VIA Global Health’s Vision for a Smarter, More Equitable Medical Supply Chain in Africa
At VIA Global Health, we believe in a world where geography and infrastructure no longer dictate access to life-saving medical tools. Our mission is to bridge the healthcare access gap across Africa by using cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to streamline sourcing, procurement, and delivery of medical devices and consumables.
Where We Are Today
Currently, our AI chatbot acts as a frontline customer support tool, helping thousands of healthcare providers, distributors, and NGOs across the continent find the products they need faster and with fewer barriers. It provides multilingual support, offers tailored product recommendations, and assists with order tracking—available 24/7 to empower our customers with immediate, relevant guidance.
This tool has already reduced wait times, improved user satisfaction, and lowered support costs—demonstrating the immense value of AI, even at this early stage.

Why It Matters
Millions of people across Africa still lack access to the essential tools needed to provide care. By building smarter infrastructure powered by AI, we can shorten supply chains, reduce waste, and bring life-saving technologies to the places they’re needed most—faster, cheaper, and more reliably.
Technology won’t solve every challenge, but it gives us a powerful set of tools to close the gap.
A Call to Innovators and Investors
We’re inviting forward-thinking investors, grant issuers, and global health leaders to join us in building this future. With the right support, VIA Global Health can scale our AI capabilities to reach thousands more clinics, hospitals, and health workers.
Together, we can reimagine how healthcare is delivered across Africa.
