How one gap in the supply chain became a mission.
The idea behind MedichPlus was to create a pharmaceutical marketplace in Ethiopia where verified businesses can discover partners, showcase products, and build trusted connections. Medichplus was founded by Yonas Abyou, a Bachelor of Pharmacy graduate from Addis Ababa University.
With over a year of experience in pharmaceutical marketing and hands-on exposure during internships, Yonas identified a major gap in Ethiopia's healthcare system — inefficient, fragmented supply chains with limited digital coordination.
These experiences showed a clear opportunity: digitizing pharmaceutical procurement and distribution could significantly reduce delays, improve transparency, and help ensure medicines reach patients faster and more reliably.
This insight became the foundation of Medichplus.
