Healthcare in Africa

The Operating System African Hospitals Have Been Missing

Most hospital software was built for markets with reliable internet, electronic health records, and integrated insurance systems. African facilities operate differently: locum workers move between hospitals weekly, insurance claims require specific local formats, and critical workflows still run on paper and WhatsApp. OnLocum is built from the ground up for these realities.

Built in Kenya
Integrated with M-Pesa, SHA, NCK, KMPDC, and PPB from the start
One Platform
Staffing, HMIS, billing, and claims instead of five disconnected tools
Mobile-First
Works on phones, handles intermittent connectivity, and supports offline clinical workflows

African healthcare facilities juggle disconnected tools for staffing, records, billing, and claims. OnLocum brings it all into one platform built for local payment rails, regulatory bodies, and clinical workflows.

What makes this different

African hospitals spend up to 30% of admin time coordinating staffing through phone calls and WhatsApp. That time should go to patient care.
Foreign HMIS tools that assume stable broadband and Western insurance formats create more problems than they solve in African facilities.
When staffing, clinical records, and billing live in one system, insurance claim rejections drop because the documentation trail is already complete.

Stop running your hospital on five disconnected tools

Most African facilities use one system for records, another for billing, WhatsApp for staffing, spreadsheets for timesheets, and paper for claims. Every handoff between these tools is a place where data gets lost, claims get rejected, and workers get paid late. OnLocum puts staffing, clinical records, billing, and claims in one platform.

Built in Kenya, designed for the continent

OnLocum integrates with Kenyan regulatory bodies (NCK, KMPDC, PPB), processes payments via M-Pesa, and files claims to SHA and private insurers. The same integration model extends to each new market's regulators, payment rails, and insurance schemes.

Workers build portable reputations across facilities

A nurse who works at three facilities should not have to re-prove their competence at each one. OnLocum tracks verified credentials, attendance rates, facility ratings, and trust tiers that travel with the worker. Facilities get better matches. Workers get more shifts.

Clinical operations that work on African connectivity

FlowMed by OnLocum runs on mobile devices and supports offline workflows for triage, consultations, and prescriptions. Data syncs when connectivity returns. MOH reporting formats are built in. Insurance claim formats match what SHA and private insurers actually accept.

How It Works

Trust that grows with every shift

A worker's reputation isn't trapped in one facility's memory. It travels across every shift, every facility, and every workflow — getting stronger with use.

Verify workers against local regulators

Every professional's license is checked directly with the relevant regulatory body. Expired or invalid credentials are flagged before they become your problem.

Run operations in one system

Staffing, patient records, lab orders, pharmacy, billing, and insurance claims all flow through OnLocum. No more re-entering data across tools.

Pay workers and file claims automatically

M-Pesa payments process within 48 hours. Insurance claims submit digitally with complete documentation from the clinical encounter.
