We're building the hospital management OS
Africa deserves.
DawaHQ started with a simple observation: 80% of African hospitals are still running on paper. Appointment registers. Drug stockbooks. Manual invoices. We're changing that — one hospital at a time.
Our Mission
To give every African hospital — from the solo GP in Kano to the multi-branch group in Lagos — the operational tools to run like a business and deliver like a hospital.
We believe that when hospitals run better, patients live longer. When doctors spend less time on paperwork, they spend more time on care. When pharmacy stock is managed properly, patients get the right drugs. Technology, applied well, saves lives.

What we stand for
Six values that guide every product decision, every support interaction, and every line of code.
Patients First
Every feature we build starts with one question: does this make patient care better? Better records mean better decisions. Better decisions mean better outcomes.
Built for Africa
We don't adapt Western software for Africa. We build from the ground up for the realities of Nigerian hospitals — from Paystack payments to NDPR compliance to Naira pricing.
Speed Over Perfection
African hospitals need solutions now — not after a 12-month implementation. DawaHQ goes live in hours. We ship fast, listen to clinics, and iterate constantly.
Trust as a Foundation
Medical data is the most sensitive information in the world. We take that seriously — NDPR compliance, AES-256 encryption, and full audit logging are non-negotiable.
Hospitals as Partners
We don't have "users" — we have hospital partners. Every piece of feedback shapes the roadmap. We reply to every support email. We answer every call.
AI for Good
AI shouldn't replace doctors — it should free them to focus on patients. Dawa handles the paperwork, flags the risks, and surfaces the insights so your team can do what they do best.
The team
A small, focused team building something big for African healthcare.
