Medic designs, delivers, and supports world-class, open-source software for health workers providing care in the world’s hardest-to-reach communities. We believe providing communities with sophisticated, human-centered technology is an effective tool on the path to achieving a more just world, where universal health coverage is a reality and health is a secured human right. We achieve our mission through radical collaboration and deeply value openness, solidarity, humanity, initiative, and creativity.
Medic is growing our business development capacities to meet organizational needs and fundraising goals.

We envision a more just world in which health workers are supported as they provide care for their communities, where universal health coverage is a reality, and health is a secured human right – for everyone, everywhere, always.
Medic serves as the technical steward and core contributor of the Community Health Toolkit (CHT), a leading open-source, global good for digital health and advanced community health systems. We drive increases in coverage, quality, and speed of care in the hardest-to-reach communities, improvements in health workforce performance, and greater data-driven decision-making among health system leadership. Digital health apps built using the CHT currently support over 131,000 health workers in 18 countries across Africa and Asia. To date, health workers using CHT apps have conducted over 128 million healthcare activities.
