We believe that every person is entitled to dignified care andour mission is first and foremost to provide affordable andhigh-quality healthcare to our patients. Roha aims to be the leading responsible healthcare provider in the region.
Roha Health was established with the aim of addressing Africa’s healthcare needs by building a healthcare infrastructure and skilled care providers across the continent, to provide high-quality, affordable care for patients through world-class facilities, partnerships with international market leaders, and the latest technologies.
Roha Health aims to build hospitals that provide specialties that rarely exist in Africa. To effectively deploy them, we have created a flexible operating model and building design that allows us to experiment and adjust our approach as we learn more. We are driven by a belief that these services should be available in all markets and that sustainably profitable business models exist for them – our flexible approach allows for continuous improvement and evolution to find the best solutions.
Roha Health’s goal is to provide these rarely available diagnostics, treatments, and interventions without patients suffering significant financial consequences. As such, we have designed a pricing and operating model that can accommodate up to 20% of patients referred by the public sector and treated at public insurance rates, a discount or pro-bono rates while also extending training opportunities to healthcare workers in the public facilities. It is critical for us to ensure that treatment is widely available to the communities we serve.
