Why Afya1 exists
Getting care should not feel this hard
We built Afya1 around the gaps families face every day.
Long hospital queues
Hours spent waiting for a short consult when you need to be at work or with family.
How we help: Book and speak with an available provider when it suits you.
Relatives left alone in hospital
Someone you love needs company and care, but you cannot always stay at the ward.
How we help: A verified caregiver covers the bedside and keeps you updated.
Hard to know who to trust
Informal care often lacks clear credentials, references, or accountability.
How we help: Every provider is checked, assessed, and reviewed before they go live.
How it works
Simple for patients. Clear for providers.
Create your account
Sign up, confirm with an OTP, and upload your national ID. Most accounts are approved within a day.
Find and book care
Filter by service, role, location, price, and rating. Pay with M-Pesa. Funds stay in escrow until the visit ends.
Receive care and review
Notes and prescriptions go to your health record. When the visit is done, rate your provider.
Apply and get verified
Submit your license and documents, pass a background check, and clear two competency assessments.
Set your availability
Manage your calendar, set your fee within the role price band, and accept booking requests within two hours.
Deliver care and get paid
Check in by GPS for in person visits, log session notes, and receive payout after a 24 hour dispute window.

Built for Kenya
Good care should not depend on where you live
Afya1 links families to verified clinicians for video visits, home care, and hospital bedside support. That means the same booking tools work in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and smaller towns.
Your payment sits in escrow until the visit is done. In person visits can be confirmed by GPS. Providers earn a verified badge only after clearing six verification checks.
Families should not have to wonder whether someone actually arrived. Afya1 shows you when they did.Browse providers

Stories from users
What patients and providers say
“My mother was admitted for a week and I could not take that much time off work. Knowing exactly when the caregiver checked in made the whole week bearable.”
Jane Wanjiku
Patient, Nairobi
“I booked an online consultation on my lunch break instead of losing half a day at the hospital. Notes were saved to my record automatically.”
David Kamau
Patient, Mombasa
“The verification process was thorough. Background check, referees, a clinical exam. Patients can tell the difference, and it shows in the bookings.”
Grace Wanjiru
Registered Nurse, Kisumu
