Chefaa, a patient-centric pharmacy benefits platform, has signed a contractual agreement with USAID Business Egypt. This agreement aims to improve healthcare access by digitizing Egypt’s pharmaceutical supply chain.
Together, Chefaa and USAID Business Egypt will support 250 pharmacies in adopting technology to better serve their communities. This agreement aims to meet the rising demand for affordable, accessible healthcare and help pharmacies build sustainable businesses, expand operations, and contribute to a patient-centric, data-driven pharmaceutical market.
One of USAID Business Egypt’s primary objectives is to assist existing micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to adapt and grow through linkages to financing, investing, and sustainable buyer-driven value chains. This aligns directly with Chefaa’s mission to empower MSME owners by providing them with the tools needed to adapt to the changing landscape of the pharmaceutical market
Chefaa’s foundational pillars, Chefaa Now and Chefaa Supply, play a central role in this agreement by focusing on supporting pharmacies through enhancing their digital presence, building pharmacist capacity, and improving their supply chain and logistics. This includes deploying a specialised fleet for order fulfilment and empowering pharmacy owners to adopt digital infrastructure, such as e-pharmacy solutions and digital procurement, to ease financial constraints. By supporting pharmacies in adopting these innovations, the initiative aims to improve patient access to medications, drive better compliance, and positively impact health outcomes.
