Treatinet teleMEDICINE (U) Limited – Bridging Uganda’s Rural Healthcare Gap.

Problem 
3 in 4 rural Ugandans lack access to doctors, regular checkups, and essential medicines. Uganda’s doctor-to-patient ratio is 1:25,000 below the WHO's recommended 1:1,000. Patients often travel over 80km to urban hospitals, leading to missed follow-ups, untreated conditions, and preventable deaths (UBOS 2024; WHO 2025).

Product 
Treatinet teleMEDICINE (U) Limited is a registered HealthTech startup (Reg No: 80034728194603) that bridges this gap using an AI-powered digital platform, solar-powered health kiosks (Health ATMs) for last-mile medicine delivery.

Remote doctors assess data, issue e-prescriptions, and give recommendations on user account. Medicines collected from kiosks (Health ATMs). Installed in public places i.e. terminals, schools, churches, trading centres.
