About Vezeeta

Vezeeta is a digital healthcare platform operating primarily in the Middle East and Africa, designed to connect patients with healthcare providers and services. The company was founded in 2012 by Amir Barsoum and Ahmed Badr. Barsoum, with a background in pharmacy and prior roles at McKinsey & Company and AstraZeneca, brought deep industry knowledge. Badr contributed over two decades of technology and engineering leadership experience.

The company's journey began under the name "DrBridge," initially offering an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solution for doctors. After facing low adoption, the founders pivoted through several iterations, including a patient engagement platform and a calendar management system, before launching the online booking platform in late 2014. This model proved successful, achieving significant month-over-month growth. Since its inception, Vezeeta has secured a total of $63 million in funding over seven rounds from investors including Gulf Capital, IFC, and Silicon Badia.

Vezeeta's business model is multifaceted. For patients, the platform is free and allows them to search for, compare, and book appointments with doctors based on specialty, location, insurance, and verified patient reviews. The company generates revenue by charging healthcare providers transaction fees for bookings and also offers a subscription-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. This SaaS solution provides doctors and clinics with tools for managing appointments and patient data.

The platform offers a comprehensive suite of services accessible via its mobile app. Patients can schedule in-clinic appointments, teleconsultations via voice or video, and at-home doctor visits. Vezeeta has also expanded into online pharmacy services, allowing for the ordering and delivery of medications, and facilitates bookings for lab tests and medical procedures. This integrated approach aims to create a single point of care for outpatient services, enhancing convenience for patients and improving efficiency for healthcare providers.
