Maisha Meds Operations Associate Job Vacancy April 2019

Join Our Team

We’re working to make quality medicines affordable for the 2.5 billion patients worldwide who access primary health care at their local drug shop.  Not long ago, we started with app that tracked medication sales and inventory at these drug shops and clinics.  Now we are moving into medication supply chains, partnering with suppliers to ensure that effective medicines are stocked in pharmacies across East Africa, and that they have the working capital to optimize their shops. Our software is used by hundreds of pharmacies in Africa to support hundreds of thousands of patients each year.

For patients, we help strengthen supply chains and ensure that the medicine that they buy will be affordable and consistently high quality, in a setting where 1 in 10 products is counterfeit or substandard.
