Healthcare technology in Kenya sits at an interesting crossroads. On one side, you have large private hospitals and international health organisations looking to implement world-class digital health infrastructure. On the other, you have county health facilities, community health workers, and rural clinics that need solutions which work on low-end Android phones with intermittent internet connectivity. Tukoweb Solutions has built for both ends of this spectrum, and we understand that a great healthcare platform is not just about features, it is about reliability in the field where clinicians and patients actually use it.
Our healthcare software projects have included patient management systems for multi-branch private hospitals in Nairobi, telemedicine platforms connecting specialists in the city with patients in remote counties, and mobile data collection tools for community health promoters operating under the Ministry of Health's Community Health Policy. We build with KDPA compliance built in from the architecture stage, ensuring that patient data is encrypted at rest and in transit, that access controls meet standards expected by health regulators, and that audit logs satisfy the requirements of international funders like USAID, the Global Fund, and the Gates Foundation.
One area where we see enormous unmet demand in Kenya is electronic health records. Many facilities still run on paper records or disconnected spreadsheets, making care coordination difficult and patient handover risky. We build modular EHR systems that can start simple, with outpatient registration and basic clinical notes, and expand over time to include pharmacy management, laboratory integrations, and national health information system reporting. If your facility is ready to move away from paper records, or you are a healthtech startup looking to build the next generation of clinical software for Africa, we are ready to show you what is possible at a price point that makes sense for the Kenyan market.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our Healthcare & Telemedicine solutions, answered honestly.
Can you build a telemedicine platform that works with low bandwidth in rural Kenya?
Yes. We design our telemedicine platforms with adaptive video quality that automatically adjusts based on available bandwidth, and we include asynchronous consultation modes where patients can submit text and photo descriptions and receive a response from a clinician when connectivity is available. We also support audio-only consultations for areas where video is not reliable.
Is your healthcare software compliant with the Kenya Data Protection Act?
All of our healthcare software is built with KDPA compliance as a core requirement, not an afterthought. This includes data encryption, role-based access controls, audit logging, consent management, and data retention policies. We also help clients prepare the Data Protection Impact Assessments required by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
Can you integrate with national health systems like NHIF and DHIS2?
Yes. We have built integrations with NHIF for claims processing and member verification, and with DHIS2 for aggregate health data reporting to the Ministry of Health. We also have experience integrating with OpenMRS, Kenya EMR, and other health information systems used in the Kenyan public health sector.
How do you handle patient data security in your systems?
We implement end-to-end encryption for all patient data, multi-factor authentication for clinical staff, and role-based access controls that ensure each user can only see the data they need for their specific role. All data access is logged in tamper-proof audit trails. We also conduct regular security assessments and provide penetration testing reports upon request.
What types of health facilities have you built software for?
We have built software for private hospitals, Level 4 and Level 5 county hospitals, outpatient clinics, dental practices, diagnostic laboratories, pharmacies, NGO-run health programmes, and telehealth startups. Each engagement starts with a discovery phase where we understand your specific workflows and patient population before designing the solution.
