Core Vision

Telemed Medical Services PLC (Telemed), incorporated in 2012, has the mission to provide people in Ethiopia access to reliable, affordable and immediate health advisory and care services through their mobile phones. Telemed’s flagship product, HelloDoctor®, allows people to call at any time and from anywhere in Ethiopia and get instant professional medical advice.
Telemed has also developed a patient tracking system uses mobile phone technology to provide patient follow up and referrals. It also integrates patient progress feedback to the local healthcare provider following up the patient. We represent the leading and only tech start-up in the field of telemedicine in Ethiopia.

Organizational Culture

Telemed strives to create a non-hierarchical and collegial environment where employees have easy access to upper management and the founder. Given the disruptive nature of the product and the company’s small size, this culture is highly beneficial to Telemed’s continued growth and improvement. To this end, we build and strengthen relationships among management and staff through weekly “all-hands” meetings where regular updates on Telemed’s achievements and challenges and what this means for each employee’s role are discussed.
