Our story

Medicines work best when people understand them.

Up to half of people with long-term conditions don’t take their medicines as prescribed, often because nobody had time to explain them. GetPharmAid exists to change that.

Our mission

Give every patient a pharmacist in their corner.

Pharmacists are some of the most accessible, most medication-literate professionals in healthcare, yet their clinical skills are often limited to a busy retail counter.

We’re building a platform where licensed clinical pharmacists can deliver structured, unhurried care: reviewing regimens, catching interactions, building routines that stick, and staying with patients between clinic visits. We’re starting in Lagos, Nigeria, and growing from there.

The problem

Prescribing gets the attention. Using medicines well doesn’t.

Healthcare focuses on diagnosis, prescribing and dispensing. Ongoing counselling, therapy optimisation and adherence monitoring get far less attention, and patients pay the price.

01

Fragmented medication records

People seeing several providers rarely have one accurate, regularly reviewed list of everything they take.

02

Avoidable medication harm

Adverse reactions, interactions, duplication, risky self-medication and administration errors that a pharmacist could catch.

03

Poor adherence

Complicated schedules, side effects, cost and unclear instructions make long-term treatment hard to stick to.

04

No continuity of care

Most pharmacy encounters are transactional, with no structured follow-up or long-term monitoring.

05

Barriers to advice

Time, transport costs and limited consultation slots keep people from getting timely professional guidance.

06

Underused pharmacist expertise

Pharmacists are pharmacotherapy experts, yet digital health often limits them to dispensing and fulfilment.

Our answer: make pharmacist-led pharmaceutical care its own category of digital healthcare: continuous, documented and measurable.
What we believe

Values that shape every consultation.

Patients first, always

We design every interaction around the person taking the medicine, not around the queue.

Plain language

If it can’t be explained simply, we haven’t explained it well enough.

Safety without compromise

Strict clinical governance, clear referral boundaries and verified practitioners.

Partners to your doctor

We strengthen your existing care team. We never replace it.
