To provide equitable healthcare by making it accessible, affordable, and transparent for every person across urban, peri-urban, and rural communities.

Over 84% of the population relies on the public health sector, while less than 16% access private care — which employs nearly 70% of the country’s doctors.
The doctor-to-patient ratio in the public system is approximately 0.8 per 1,000 people, far below the WHO recommendation of 4.5 per 1,000.
Rural and peri-urban areas experience the deepest shortages — with patients often travelling over 20 km for basic services or waiting weeks for diagnostic results.
Fragmented systems mean health records, lab results, and prescriptions rarely follow the patient — leading to inefficiency, duplication, and poor continuity of care.
Despite this, mobile penetration exceeds 90%, offering a massive, untapped opportunity to connect patients, providers, and data through digital health innovation.

KANNA envisions a flexible, interoperable digital foundation that will allow clinics, pharmacies, labs, and mobile units to work together seamlessly. KANNA will align with the goals of South Africa’s National Digital Health Strategy by helping clinics, pharmacies, and labs adopt interoperable standards and connect into existing health frameworks

Security and trust form the foundation of KANNA’s vision. As we design and participate in a connected healthcare ecosystem, we are aiming to ensure that every digital interaction, from patient registration to partner collaboration, is safeguarded by strong privacy principles and responsible data practices.

KANNA envisions a future where information becomes intelligence. Through responsible use of emerging technologies and data-driven insight, our ecosystem will be designed to enable clinics, pharmacies, and labs to anticipate needs, identify opportunities, and continuously improve outcomes across communities.

KANNA intends to partner with mobile and container clinics to deliver affordable, data-driven healthcare anywhere, plugging in or building a unified digital ecosystem that lowers costs and expands access.
