Heala

Heala is a digital health infrastructure platform that connects patients, healthcare providers, and insurers in Africa to manage virtual care, payments, claims, and health data exchange. It works through web dashboards, patient and doctor mobile apps, and FHIR‑aligned APIs that link hospitals, labs, pharmacies, and insurers so consultations, prescriptions, lab requests, and claims can all be handled digitally in a connected workflow.

Heala currently operates primarily in Nigeria, where its network of healthcare providers and partner platforms is live. It is positioned for the wider African market and has indicated plans to expand to other countries such as Ghana and Kenya, but its present operations are centered on Nigeria.

You can get started with Heala by visiting the heala.ng website and using the sign up or get started options relevant to your role (insurer, provider, or individual). Individuals can also sign up by downloading the MyHeala app, while doctors can join via the Doctor Direct app, and organisations can reach out through the website or contact email addresses to onboard to the platform.

Yes, Heala is available on iOS and Android. You can download Heala on the App Store for iPhone, or get it on Google Play for Android.

Heala is best suited for insurers and HMOs, hospitals and clinics, pharmacies, laboratories, and medical professionals that want to digitise care delivery, claims, and health operations. It also serves individuals and organisations that need accessible health plans and virtual care through patient apps and embedded partner channels.
