Health Sector: Invest in Ponea to Transform the Healthcare System Globally

Akshay Shah, Co-Founder of Ponea Health, the online healthcare platform made in Kenya, explains why investors should consider investing in Ponea.

“The first reason to invest in Ponea is if you want to transform the healthcare system globally, and just make it easy for everyone on this planet to be able to be healthy and be proactive with their healthcare. Investors need to believe and want to participate in that mission. Of course, investors are not coming in and giving a free ride. They want to see a return on their investment. There are very few platforms that are having the ability to consolidate the entire health ecosystem into one easy to use platform, for the patients, the healthcare professionals and the partners. And ultimately, when you think about where to go for a certain activity, like travel, you do not go to five different apps to book your ticket. You go to one app and you sort out your travel. So why shouldn’t that happen in healthcare? That is another reason why investors should be thinking about investing in one ecosystem that allows other people to plug in. Ponea is an open platform that is entirely built on partner integration, making it easy for the patient and the professional. And that is the reason why people will make Ponea Health a one stop shop”, says Akshay Shah.

“Another reason, obviously, is going to come to the financial defense ability. For instance, is this going to be something that is going to make high revenues in good times and low revenues in bad times? How is it going to operate? Right now, the world is going through stagflation, there are fears of recession happening next year. Bitcoin has crashed by more than 60%. It is a very volatile situation. There is a crisis going on in Europe between Russia and Ukraine. In that environment, healthcare is one of the sectors that is going to be financially defensible. People are not going to stop caring about their health. It is important to invest in areas which are resilient, no matter what is going on in the world”, he adds.
