KENYA—The merger of two of Kenyan’s leading digital healthcare companies, MyHealth Africa and International Medical Treatment Limited, has led to the emergence of a new e-health platform, My 1Health.
The new merger brings together MyHealth Africa’s technical prowess and IMT, expertise in medical tourism in various Middle East and Asian countries.
MyHealth Africa founder and CEO, Ryan Marincowitz revealed at the My 1Health Africa launch that the organization always had its sights on global expansion.

This is where International Medical Treatment (IMT) Limited comes in, the medical tourism industry experts offered MyHealth Africa access to the world faster.
IMT is recognized for its offering to clients all over the world, especially comprehensive services to access international world-class medical treatment.

With this merger, the new platform, My 1Health also obtains access to IMT’s partner hospitals in Thailand, Singapore, the UK, The United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, India, Turkey, and other countries.
Hence, My 1Health becomes a global platform, connecting patients to world-class specialized healthcare services worldwide.
