Access Afya and Nivi Announce a New Partnership to Improve Sexual and Reproductive Health in Kenya

NAIROBI, Kenya - Oct. 29, 2023 - PRLog -- Access Afya, a primary healthcare social enterprise delivering affordable, effective healthcare in Kenya, and Nivi Inc., a digital health company that deploys a chatbot-based marketplace, have announced a new partnership to improve sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes in the communities they serve.

Access Afya operates a network of 14 clinics and pharmacies in four counties, providing high-quality and localized healthcare designed specifically to serve the needs of low-income markets. It leverages rich patient data to facilitate excellent diagnostics and primary care to its patients.

Nivi is a digital health company with a mission to enable every person to achieve their own aspirations for health. Nivi has developed a platform - the Nivi Health Exchange, that brings together health educators and promoters, providers of products and services, and consumers to create an ecosystem that drives better health outcomes for more people.

The partnership will enable Access Afya to power its SRH patient journey on the askNivi chatbot, creating campaigns that offer relevant and useful information to intended populations and refer patients to Access Afya clinics as needed.

Looking ahead, Nivi will gradually expand support to Access Afya in raising awareness of other health journeys, such as maternal and child health, chronic diseases, mental health, and COVID-19 prevention and care.

"We are excited to partner with Nivi to enhance our SRH services and reach more people with quality healthcare, " says Dr. Daphne Ngunjiri,  CEO of Access Afya. "Nivi's chatbot is a powerful tool to educate and engage our target population on important health topics and motivate them to seek care at our clinics. We believe this partnership will have a positive impact on the health and well-being of our communities."

Ben Bellows, Co-founder and CBO of Nivi, echoes these sentiments, "We are thrilled to work with Access Afya, a leading healthcare social enterprise in Kenya. Access Afya shares our vision of empowering people to make informed decisions about their health and connecting them to reliable providers in their area. We look forward to supporting Access Afya in achieving its goals of improving SRH outcomes and expanding its reach and impact."
