Togo Startup DoctaMob Launches Healthcare Super-App

Togo-based startup DoctaMob has launched a digital health platform in Lomé aimed at making healthcare services easier to access through web and mobile applications. Available on Android and iOS, the platform brings together a range of healthcare services, allowing users to book medical appointments, locate healthcare facilities, find on-duty pharmacies, request ambulance services and arrange home-based care. It also includes tele assistance and remote medical advice features.

The company describes the platform as a healthcare “super-app”, drawing inspiration from international platforms such as Doctolib while adapting the model to local healthcare needs and market conditions.

DoctaMob’s business model focuses on digitising the patient care journey. The startup aims to address several challenges within Togo’s healthcare system, including long waiting times, fragmented access to medical information and difficulties patients face when seeking healthcare services.

By consolidating multiple services into a single platform, the company hopes to simplify interactions between patients and healthcare providers while making healthcare information more accessible.

Focus on Verified Healthcare Professionals

The Startup has also placed emphasis on building trust within its platform. According to the company, healthcare professionals must submit supporting credentials and complete verification procedures before their profiles are approved.

Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other practitioners listed on the platform are subject to validation checks designed to reduce fake profiles and limit access to uncertified medical services. The verification process is intended to help users identify qualified healthcare providers and improve confidence in digital healthcare services.

DoctaMob joins a growing number of healthtech companies operating across West Africa, including Rivia, ASKcare and Kénèya Koura, which are using digital platforms to improve access to healthcare services.

As smartphone adoption, mobile money usage and internet access continue to grow across the continent, startups are increasingly developing services that combine teleconsultations, healthcare location tools and digital patient management into a single platform.

Beyond Togo, DoctaMob has outlined plans to expand into other African markets facing similar healthcare access and service coordination challenges. The company hopes to gradually introduce the platform in countries where patients continue to face barriers in accessing healthcare information and medical services.
