Amatsii, MTN Apps Challenge v 4.0 Winner Releases Its Android App

Healthcare is one of the most untapped avenues for startup disruption in Ghana and across Africa, generally. At the last MTN Apps Challenge, Amatsii won the heart of the judges as it was adjudged winner. Amatsii is a software company developing consumer search & discovery; procurement & retail management and business intelligence & market research products and services for the pharmaceutical industry. The company has released the first public version of Amatsii.com for Android users.

Amatsii is a mobile application for the public to aid public healthcare in Ghana. The aim of Amatsii is to provide, through their website and app, free, easy and real-time access to drug and drug related information nationwide in Ghana.
