Our Roots & Vision
Manje Health, part of the Mastercard Lighthouse MASSIV Program, is based in Lund, Sweden - with a deep heart in Africa.
At Manje Health, we believe that distance should never be a barrier to quality healthcare. Founded by a team of African and Nordic executives, our mission is to simplify how families—especially those in the diaspora—secure and pay for medical care across Africa.
The word "Manje" means "Now" in several Southern African languages. It reflects our urgency and commitment to solving the "black hole" of out-of-pocket medical payments and the uncertainty of sending money home for healthcare.
We have built strategic partnerships with licensed insurers covering Africa, Healthcare Federations and key professional member based associations.
Our mission, is to transform how healthcare is accessed and financed in Africa by providing a secure, transparent, and direct bridge between global funders and local providers. We are on a journey to build the healthcare search and financing platform of the future.
Our Story
When her mother was diagnosed with a tumor and had no health insurance, our CEO, Prudence Persson experienced the challenge millions of people around the World know too well - the system of sending money back home for medical care. Cash-based peer-to-peer transactions, high money transfers with the risk of funds being diverted to other needs, remains a constant problem.
We help you:
Search: Identify specialised treatment and reputable hospitals for general and acute conditions.
Fund: Directly pay for medical bills or insurance plans (like the SIC Life AHOMKA in Ghana) from anywhere in the world.
Secure: Ensure that 100% of the funds intended for health are actually used for health, with no diversions or hidden costs.
We help you find and fund quality healthcare in Africa!
