About The Medical Concierge Group
Founded in 2012, The Medical Concierge Group (TMCG) started with a call center-based approach to Telemedicine with a business model serving beneficiaries of clinical research trials and development programs.
It has since expanded to add last mile health service delivery and an online shop for pharmacy, laboratory, and clinic services covered by medical insurance, subscriptions, and on a pay-as-you-go basis.
In 2019, the telemedicine and last mile health service were branded, “Rocket Health”, realizing the huge potential for the digital transformation of healthcare and a growing tech-savvy population that is demanding to obtain healthcare services affordably and within the convenience of one’s home, workplace and school.
Rocket Health has served thousands of Ugandans and has partnered with the top 5 leading medical insurance providers in the country including UAP Old Mutual, ICEA, Prudential, Liberty, and Sanlam to provide covered members with doctor consultations over the phone, laboratory sample collections, prescription deliveries, chronic care management, and patient follow-up services.
The adoption of the telemedicine service has greatly impacted the insurers with cost savings of up to 50% compared to conventional healthcare.
Also, patient satisfaction has improved greatly as a result of the convenient, affordable, and patient-centric approach to care delivery.
The showcase is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 3rd November⋅13:00 – 18:00 CET (15:00 – 20:00 EAT).
