In a world where access to quality medical care can be limited by distance, cost, and infrastructure, DRO Health is emerging as a game‑changer. Founded in late 2019 by Dr Ifeanyi Iwuchukwu (Neurologist & CEO with over two decades of experience), alongside his brother Emeka Brian Iwuchukwu (CTO & Head of Product), and Norris Clay-Onah Campbell (COO & Marketing Operations Lead), the startup aims to democratise healthcare through the power of telemedicine.
The founders recognised that many Nigerians face long waits, high costs and limited access to specialists, and created DRO Health to tackle these challenges by offering a digital platform where patients can swiftly consult doctors, access medical records and manage prescriptions – all from their smartphones or computers.
With its mobile app, DRO Health enables users to consult licensed doctors — from general practitioners to specialists — via chat, voice, or video, all from the safety and comfort of their homes . Since its launch, the platform has amassed over 100,000 virtual consultations, boasts a 95% user satisfaction rate, and connects users with more than 80 licensed healthcare professionals.
The app also supports the ordering of diagnostic tests and ongoing wellness monitoring, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart health tracking.
The impact of DRO Health hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2020, it was named “Best Telehealth Platform – Nigeria” at the Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals Awards. The platform continues to be adopted by individuals—for everyday health needs—and institutions, with over 10 healthcare partners leveraging its EMR and telemedicine capabilities.
What’s Next?
DRO Health is expanding beyond teleconsults and medication delivery. Its platform now supports mental health, women’s health, heart health programs, and aims to integrate even more remote monitoring devices. The founders are also actively pursuing partnerships with banks, healthcare providers, and diagnostic labs, aiming to scale across the continent.
