MyHealth Africa, a leading digital healthcare provider in Kenya, has revealed that it will merge with International Medical Treatment Limited, another Kenyan health company.
As a result of the merger, both businesses have started a new platform called My 1 Health to expand into other markets.
Ryan Marincowitz, the company’s founder and CEO, said at its last fundraising event in December 2022 that the company wants to expand its services to the Middle East and South Asia and give patients easier access to local and foreign hospitals and medical professionals.

MyHealth Africa wants to use the money to keep growing quickly across Africa. In 2023, we also want to expand into the Middle East and South Asia, which are already our second and third biggest markets, respectively.
To move forward with this plan, MyHealth Africa, which has mostly only worked in its home country of Kenya, needed a health company with a more global view and reach. International Medical Treatment (IMT) Limited helps with this. IMT is also based in Kenya and says it is in the medical tourism business.
It says that it provides clients from all over the world with all the services they need to get foreign medical care of the highest quality. It takes a holistic approach and makes it easier for its customers to get high-quality, affordable medical care by partnering with world-class hospitals and giving excellent customer service, holistic support, confidentiality, and urgency.
With this merger, the new site, My 1Health, gains access to IMT’s partner hospitals in Thailand, Singapore, the UK, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, India, Turkey, and other countries. This is very important to its goal of becoming a global platform that connects people around the world to high-quality, specialized healthcare services.
The company said that by putting their skills together, they had made a powerful, unified, and specialized healthcare solution that helps people in Africa and around the world. With My 1Health, patients can get access to a large network of expert doctors, complete medical facilities, and personalised treatment choices.
The site gives patients a great experience and helps people find the right health services, no matter where they are. Ryan Marincowitz, who is now the CEO and Founder of My 1 Health, said that the merger would change the game.
“We’re excited to announce My 1Health, which is a game-changer in the field of specialised medical assistance. By combining MyHealth Africa and International Medical Treatment, we’ve created a single platform that brings the best of both worlds together. This gives people access to unmatched specialized healthcare services anywhere in the world.

The company also said that its plan to grow is in full swing now that its services are up and running in Ethiopia and South Sudan. At the launch event, which was held at the My 1Health Headquarters in Nairobi, the CEO said that this was a big step towards the company’s goal of making it easier for people in the region to get access to specific health services.
“By opening new offices in these countries, we’re expanding our reach and getting closer to changing the way that thousands of patients get specialised health care,” he said.
The company also wants to keep growing and has said that it will spread into the Middle East and South Asia by the end of this year. My1Health says it has helped almost 35,000 people around the world get access to specialized health care services.
The company says that these changes are a big step towards its goal of changing how people get access to specialized healthcare. My1Health wants to make it easier for patients to get the care they need by using advanced technology and strategic relationships.
