Famasi Limited

About

Famasi Africa is revolutionizing pharmaceutical access across Nigeria by leveraging Artificial Intelligence to streamline fragmented supply chains. Founded in 2021, the company launched with a mission to simplify medications for everyone, especially people with recurrent medication needs. The platform connects individuals and businesses to over 1,000 pharmacies, offering same-day delivery and automated medication refills. Their fundamental belief is that people who use medications, especially on a recurrent basis, often need more than a pharmacy - they need a pharmacy that truly cares. The company began when pharmacist Adeola Ayoola and product storyteller Umar Faruq Akinwunmi combined their 13 years of friendship to address healthcare challenges they experienced firsthand. With approximately 130 million Nigerians managing chronic illnesses and recurrent medication needs, Famasi identified a critical gap: 50% of people fail to adhere to medications due to access issues, forgetfulness, and poor chronic care management. To address this, they built Dispensary - an all-in-one pharmacyOS that combines inventory management, point-of-sale, and mobile scanning into a single Android terminal, eliminating the need for traditional desktop setups. Beyond patient care, Famasi has partnered with physicians, telemedicine providers, and diagnostics to personalize treatment. Their AI-powered platform is featured by Google as an Africa AI Pioneer, and the company has been recognized by TechCrunch Battlefield, Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, and the She Loves Tech competition. The startup aims to accelerate digital health in emerging markets by personalizing care at scale.
