Who we are
afrimedicare connects hospitals in Africa with accredited hospitals and pharmaceutical partners worldwide. This policy covers the public website; the partner and patient portals have their own agreements. Questions go to info@afromedicare.com.
What we collect
Only what you send us: the details in a contact, partner or supplier inquiry, a job application and its CV, or a newsletter sign-up. We use it to answer you, to assess an application, or to send what you asked for, and we keep it no longer than that needs. We never sell it.

Partner hospitals and patient records
The partner portal is an operations system: wards and beds, departments, pharmacy stock, staff and payroll, and procurement. It does not hold patient medical records. The only health data that reaches us is a referral, which a hospital sends with the patient's (or guardian's) explicit written consent for that purpose; the hospital records the consent date and scope on the referral and keeps the signed form in the patient's file.
Referral documents are stored encrypted in transit and on a private disk that only our medical team and the referring hospital can open, are shared with the treating hospital abroad only as far as the consent allows, and are deleted 12 months after the referral is closed.
Your rights
Wherever you are, you can ask what we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, or withdraw a consent you gave. Email info@afromedicare.com and we answer within 30 days.
