The company began its work by addressing a need for improved

bicycles are a luxury that is often out of reach for low-income

Approximately 1.4 Million disabled people are in need of a

wheelchair and 17.6% of the Ethiopian population have a disability.
95% of them live in poverty. By making these wheelchairs entirely

Initial Investment: 1.5 million ETB

EthioTeleHealth provides a platform for health consultations through an

application for Patients-Doctors and Doctors-Doctors via video call. Our
business solves basic health accessibility issues. It will be a modern way of getting
health advice, diagnosis, and treatment. In the era of digitalization, our company
will provide fast, easy, affordable healthcare services. EthioTeleHealth uses digital
information communication technologies to access health care services
remotely and manage your health care.

The limited number of health institutions, inefficient distribution of medical

supplies, and the disparity between rural and urban areas, due to severe
underfunding of the health sector, make access to healthcare services very
difficult. It is estimated that more than half of the population lives more than 10
km from the nearest health facility, usually in regions with poor tranasportation
infrastructure. This is why it is necessary that people have access to a digital
health platform that is accessible, efficient, and convenient like ours.

service that helps customers discover and reserve quality and

Despite the enormous opportunity demand for rooms in the
