About
We publish what we charge, how we work and what we get wrong.
Where you are born still decides the quality of healthcare you can reach. Fragmented procurement keeps medicines and health products away from the patients who need them. Axmed was founded to change that.
We are a social impact health-tech venture and a public benefit corporation, headquartered in Basel with a regional headquarters in Nairobi. We build the marketplace, logistics, financing and advisory that let healthcare products reach the next billion patients on commercial terms that hold.
