Kenya
Bringing primary care closer to Kenyans through convenient “Minute Clinics” inside existing pharmacies.
The Innovation
A clinic inside every pharmacy
Tibu Health builds “Minute Clinics” inside existing pharmacies — a shop-in-shop model that brings primary care to where patients already go. No new real estate, no long commutes. Patients get access to medical consultations, diagnostics, vaccinations, and prescriptions on the spot. Pharmacies get increased foot traffic. Tibu gets an asset-light expansion model that can scale fast across Kenya and beyond.
Minute Clinics connect to a network of full-service Flagship Clinics for referrals, specialist care, and an ISO-level in-house laboratory. A digital layer ties it all together: electronic health records, virtual care, appointment scheduling, and AI-assisted diagnostics — all accessible through the Tibu patient app. Corporate and individual memberships (from KES 13,500 per year) make consistent healthcare affordable for the first time.

What Makes It Stand Out
98% NPS. 156 corporate clients. Care that meets people where they are.
Tibu doesn’t need to change patient behaviour — it meets patients where they already are. That’s a rare thing in health innovation. The model is capital-light, replicable, and built on trust: a 98% net promoter score, 22 international insurance and HMO agreements, and 156 corporate clients don’t lie. In FY2025, 11,483 patients were served through Minute Clinics alone. Proparco, the French development finance institution, has committed USD 250k in incoming financing — a strong signal of institutional confidence. Tibu is now expanding into Mombasa, Narok, and new counties.
