“We are seeking an additional partner to enable us enhance our capacity and stock up to meet the growing demand from customers preferring to stay at home.
“Social distancing has forced many to stay at home as a way of avoiding crowded places. Many now download our app where they photograph their prescription notes for our action. All payments are also done via mobile money or money cards,” he said.
MyDawa had also witnessed an upsurge in transactions funded by insurance companies. About 25 companies have enrolled staff on MyDawa app where drugs are delivered to ailing employees and bills paid by the employer.
