The Challenge
Healthcare in Africa remains deeply unequal
1
Low doctor-to-patient ratios
South Africa has ~0.8 per 1,000 vs WHO’s 2.3 recommendation.
2
Two-tiered system
16% enjoy private care while the majority rely on under-resourced public facilities.
3
Cash-based risks
many patients still pay in cash, exposing them to fraud, diversion, and inefficiency.
4
Language barriers
many communities cannot access care effectively due to language gaps.
KANNA exists to bridge these gaps with technology, partnerships, AI-driven support, and multilingual inclusivity

- One patient ID linking prescriptions, lab results, and health records across providers.
- Cashless healthcare payments through the KANNA Wallet.
- AI-driven health triage to guide patients to the right care at the right time.
- Multilingual support across the platform so every patient, regardless of language, can access care.
