Botswana-born pan-African finance provider Letshego has teamed up with BrandMed, a leading, digitally-savvy healthcare Group, to provide instant digital access to wellness and affordable health solutions via the LetsGo Digital Mall.
The partnership will enable Letshego to offer digitized, world-class wellness, health facts, and advice to its footprint communities across Africa. Digital wellness services will soon include virtual medical consultations for individuals wherever they may be located, all within a few clicks via Letshego’s Digital Mall.
Speaking on the partnership, Letshego’s Group Chief of Products, Chipiliro Katundu, commented, “Our wellness offering in the LetsGo Digital Mall, in partnership with BrandMed, is the first in Letshego’s LetsGo Lifestyle series of solutions and offerings that aligns with our brand purpose to improve lives. The LetsGo Digital Wellbeing program provides instant digital access and affordable health solutions in various dimensions, supporting customers with better health, better fitness, better nutrition, and wellbeing awareness. In line with our intent of being customer-led and moving ‘beyond financial services,’ the digital wellbeing offering is our response to the holistic lifestyle needs of Letshego customers.”
Dr. Riaz Motara, cardiologist and founder of BrandMed Group, had the following to say about the partnership, “Regrettably, we live in a world where the gap between the demand and delivery of reliable and quality healthcare will continue to widen. The ongoing global pandemic has also highlighted the health inequity that exists across our communities. By partnering with Letshego Africa, we can leverage the Group’s regional digitalization strategy to promote equality in accessing wellness solutions that assist in closing the gap in broader communities being able to expert medical care. Digital access also enables those most at risk, or those who may be immobile, to seek help and support for their health and wellbeing wherever they may be located,”
The LetsGo Wellness program will integrate and provide a combination of solutions for all visitors to the LetsGo Mall. These digital health solutions will soon include screening, in-practice clinical decision support, health management tools, telehealth, remote patient monitoring as well as a selection of diverse virtual wellbeing and patient engagement tools.
Commenting on the partnership, the CEO of Letshego Botswana, Fergus Ferguson, said that, “Our LetsGo Digital Wellbeing platform is now live on our Mall in Botswana. If you haven’t already registered, we invite all our customers, partners, and stakeholders to register on our LetsGo Digital Mall and join the new-age revolution in digitizing wellness and healthcare. In line with our purpose to improve the lives of our customers, this new wellness platform increases access to more affordable, expert healthcare, wellness, and nutritional advice as Letshego strives to provide more holistic support to members of the communities where we operate.”
