All about Dokotella - Africa's latest health-tech platform

It aims to solve fragmentation in healthcare delivery by giving everyone - patients and professionals alike - a shared, privacy-first platform for medical records, referrals, scheduling, communication and collaboration.
Dokotella: Key Features & Benefits
- Unified Dashboard — Manage appointments, daily schedules, electronic health records (EHR), patient notes, and even practice finances — all in one place.
- Secure Communication & Collaboration — Providers can refer patients to specialists, share records, and receive feedback - enabling peer-to-peer knowledge transfer while keeping patient confidentiality intact.
- Better Referral Management — Instead of ad-hoc referrals via email or messaging platforms (which may be insecure or non-compliant), referrals and follow-up feedback are tracked, minimizing missed appointments. According to a case study of Dokotella's deployment, the platform reduced missed referrals by ~20%. Amazon Web Services
- Compliant & Secure Infrastructure — Dokotella leverages cloud-native infrastructure (using services from Amazon Web Services / AWS) and is designed to meet compliance and data-protection standards (including compliance with Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) in South Africa).
