AI-powered clinical guidance, built for Kenya — ready for Africa
Kenya faces a critical healthcare challenge: just under 11,000 doctors serve a population of over 52 million. In many rural and peri-urban clinics, junior doctors must make complex medical decisions without access to senior mentorship or specialist support. This often leads to delayed diagnoses, suboptimal treatments, and inconsistent adherence to evolving clinical guidelines. At the same time, valuable local research and clinical guidelines can take up to a decade to be translated into everyday clinical practice.
The Afya Gemma Solution
Afya Gemma is a next-generation, Gen AI-powered clinical decision support platform built specifically for the realities of Kenyan and East African healthcare systems. By combining trusted Kenyan medical guidelines, AKU protocols, and WHO standards, Afya Gemma provides frontline clinicians with real-time, locally relevant, and practical clinical guidance. The platform helps reduce diagnostic errors, improve treatment accuracy, close knowledge gaps, and support clinicians working in resource-limited environments. Ultimately, Afya Gemma is creating the blueprint for reliable, locally relevant healthcare across Africa.
