MyDawa has announced a partnership with Visa to enable its customers to make simple and safe purchase of medication through Its online pharmacy.
The partnership is part of a drive to encourage consumers to embrace cashless payments and avoid leaving their homes where possible in support of calls by the government for citizens to observe social distancing during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the incentives, Visa customers who order medication and other essential products via the MYDAWA platform get a discounted rate on their purchase.
MYDAWA is the first licenced e-retailing pharmacy to be fully regulated by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board in Kenya and is a technology-based service that enables consumers to conveniently purchase authentic high-quality medicines, health and wellness products.
”By using MYDAWA, people will be able to stay at home and stay safe as they order for their essentials at a discounted price. This will ease the financial burden on those who may already have seen family budgets squeezed,” said MYDAWA Managing Director Tony Wood.
The use of the eCommerce platform will also help to flatten the curve of COVID-19 infections in the country. This together with the savings users enjoy by using the platform will further help cushion Kenyans from the economic effects of this pandemic.
Corine Mbiaketcha, Vice President and General Manager for East Africa at Visa mentioned that they are reminding customers during this time that Safe is Smart by offering them avenues that help them stay safe.
Orders on the platform are delivered to the individuals’ home, office or convenient location in less than 4 hours and with no delivery fees within the Nairobi metropolitan area. Users outside Nairobi can also order the products they need and will receive their delivery within 24 hours. One can pay using mobile money, credit or debit card, and health insurance for medicine.
