Ilara Health is a health-tech company that provides point-of-care devices to primary care clinics in Kenya.

Ilara Health sources, finances and distributes easy-to-use, tech-smart medical devices that provide rapid, accurate and affordable clinical tests. By partnering with existing facilities, Ilara empowers doctors to make clinical decisions based on reliable data. As a result, patients receive better quality services to improve the detection and treatment of illnesses, leading to lower healthcare costs in the long run. Revenues for clinics will increase by keeping lab testing in-house as opposed to referring patients to larger, crowded hospitals.  

Ilara serves over 150 clinics and community pharmacies in Nairobi and Kisumu. The company’s vision is to make basic diagnostic tests affordable and accessible to millions of people who today struggle to access a simple blood test.
