Yodawy – Revolutionizing Digital Pharmacy Services Across Egypt

Yodawy, launched in 2018 by Karim Khashaba, Sherief ElFeky, and Yasser Abdelgawad, is Egypt’s first nationwide health‑tech platform dedicated to streamlining pharmaceutical access. What began as an app in Cairo rapidly expanded to include over 2,500 pharmacies across 30 cities, enabling patients to order medications, manage chronic prescriptions, and even process insurance claims digitally

The founding team identified critical inefficiencies in medicine access and affordability, especially among chronic‑illness patients. Driven by the vision to build inclusive digital healthcare, Yodawy delivers an intuitive platform empowering users—regardless of location or income—to manage and access medical products with transparency and convenience.Over half a million orders were fulfilled within one year of launch, signaling strong demand .

Yodawy’s digital prescription and subscription model has streamlined care, improving medication adherence and reducing administrative burdens on both patients and healthcare providers. By integrating pharmacies, insurers, and labs into a unified system, it has closed the accessibility gap in Egyptian healthcare.
