The short answers. The help centre has the rest.
What is Afyatel?
Afyatel is a mobile app that connects people in Kenya with licensed doctors, clinical officers, nurses, pharmacies, laboratories and ambulance services. You can find care near you, consult, order medicine, book tests and keep your health record in one place.
How do I know a provider is genuine?
Every provider gives a licence number at sign-up, which is checked against their regulator before they can see patients. Verified providers carry a tick.
How much does a consultation cost?
Each provider sets their own fee, and you see it before you book. Downloading and creating an account costs nothing.
Can I use SHA or insurance?
You can ask for a booking or order to be billed to SHA or your insurer by giving the scheme and your member number. The provider bills the scheme and confirms your cover; you remain responsible for anything the scheme does not pay.
Who can see my health record?
You, the providers you book, message or pay, and authorised Afyatel staff. The full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
Talk to a person.
Questions about the pilot, joining as a provider, or your data? We answer every message.
Afyatel connects you with independent licensed providers. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional. Afyatel is not an emergency service. In an emergency, call 999 or 112.
