Innovation Memo with Meditect: Building a connected ecosystem for medicine access in Francophone Africa

Meditect is improving access to essential medicines in French-speaking Sub-Saharan Africa by building a connected digital healthcare ecosystem. Meditect addresses critical supply chain failures that leave pharmacy shelves empty and patients without care. Through its proprietary cloud-based pharmacy management software, Meditect enables drugstores and pharmacies to manage inventory efficiently, reduce medicine waste, and improve the availability of essential drugs.

Arnaud’s work is driven by a clear conviction: sustainable healthcare starts with infrastructure that empowers local systems.
