“Regrettably, we live in a world where the gap between the demand and delivery of reliable and quality healthcare will continue to widen. The ongoing global pandemic has also highlighted the health inequity that exists across our communities. By partnering with Letshego Africa, we can leverage the Group’s regional digitalisation strategy to promote equality in accessing wellness solutions that assist in closing the gap in broader communities being able to expert medical care. Digital access also enables those most at risk, or those who may be immobile, to seek help and support for their health and wellbeing wherever they may be located,” added Dr Riaz Motara, cardiologist and founder of BrandMed Group.
The LetsGo Wellness program is well-placed to support Letshego’s ‘LetsGoNation’, a regional community of followers and users of the LetsGo Digital Mall who wish to leverage the power of Digital so that communities can connect more and do more to improve their lives.
Tolu Opayinka, Letshego Nigeria’s CEO added, “Our LetsGo Digital Wellbeing platform is now live on our Mall in Nigeria. If you haven’t already registered, we invite all our customers, partners, stakeholders to register, join the LetsGo Nation and sign up to our App, and join the new age revolution in digitising wellness and healthcare. In line with our purpose to improve the lives of our customers, this new wellness platform increases access to affordable, expert healthcare information, wellness and nutritional advice as Letshego strives to provide more holistic support to members of the communities where we operate.”

In providing access to virtual wellbeing and health care support in just a few clicks, Letshego Africa is supporting its vision to be a digital-first organisation.
