Adebayo Alonge Transforming Pharmaceutical Access In Africa Through Innovative Health Solution
Entrepreneur Adebayo Alonge is the founder and CEO of RxAll. Leading the charge with a health-tech platform that empowers pharmacies through cutting-edge digital solutions.
Adebayo is on a mission to combat fake drugs through RxAll and to transform the pharmaceutical landscape, ensuring that affordable, high-quality medicines are accessible to everyone, starting with Africa.
Adebayo Alonge’s story toward transforming the pharmaceutical Industry in Africa started 20 years ago in Nigeria. Having lived in a low-income community, at 15 years, his life took a dramatic turn when he fell ill. His father, rushed to a nearby store to procure medication. The drugs were administered diligently, but the next morning, Adebayo could not wake up. His own brush with death came when he fell into a 21 days coma after being administered a fake drug. He was fortunate to survive it. During his speech at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting. He revealed that after surviving from the effects of fake drugs, he thought about the millions of low-income families across Africa who relied on the pharmacy not just only for medications but their groceries and daily needs. Over 100,000 Africans die each year from fake medicine. A crisis that demands urgent attention. Due to the lack of reliable supply chains, coupled with counterfeit drugs infiltrating the market, this issue poses a significant threat to public health. In his quest to bring solution, Adebayo made a decision to become a pharmacist and build a health platform to ensure that no one dies from counterfeit drugs in Africa.
He founded RxAll in 2016, with a vision to create a platform that would bridge the gap between patients and authentic medicines.
With a background in Pharmacy, Policy and Business degree from Yale and Harvard, Adebayo has harnessed his expertise to create a comprehensive suite of tools designed to enhance pharmacy operations and ensure the safety of medications. He started RxAll, a health-tech platform that is digitizing pharmacies across Africa.
The platform offers a suite of solutions, including a drug testing platform, pharmacy management software, and an innovative invoice financing system. With a mission to provide better quality medicines to patients.
One of the standout features of RxAll is its innovative drug testing platform, a digital solution designed to combat the scourge of counterfeit drugs. The platform allows users to scan medications using their smartphones, instantly verifying their authenticity through a sophisticated AI that analyzes the drug’s chemical composition. This technology empowers patients, pharmacists, and healthcare providers to make informed decisions, ultimately saving lives.
The platform has successfully served and protected the lives of over 2 million patients. With operations in over 15 countries, the company has established a robust network of licensed sellers, partnering with over 200 pharmacies and healthcare providers.
“Imagine a world where every person can verify the medication they are taking, where no one has to suffer the consequences of counterfeit drugs.”
This is Adebayo’s goal, a journey from the depths of a life-threatening coma to the forefront of a digital revolution in healthcare, an unwavering commitment to saving lives.
