Founded in 2018, Viebeg has developed the online “VieProcure” platform, which offers a free, data-driven procurement solution for hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and other healthcare providers. “It enables a transparent and efficient procurement process, allowing healthcare providers to select from a diverse product range online, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual processes,” Tobias Reiter, the startup’s co-founder and CEO, told Disrupt Africa. The platform is complemented by Viebeg’s Health Demand Simulation Model (HDSM). Based on demographic and public health data, the HDSM assesses the current availability of medical services and equipment in a specific region, and then compares it to the health demand in that region, to identify healthcare infrastructure gaps.
