Secured by National ID

One health record.
Every clinic. Every pharmacy.

AfyaConnect links Uganda's hospitals and pharmacies so you always know what care you've received — and so your prescription follows you, not the other way around.

Sign in with your NIN and a one-time code sent to your phone. Install AfyaConnect on your phone to open it like any other app — no app store needed.

How AfyaConnect works

Three connected portals, one record per person — looked up by your National ID.

For patients

See every visit, diagnosis and prescription. Request delivery to your home.

For hospitals

Look up a patient by NIN, view their full history, and write prescriptions that any pharmacy can fulfill.

For pharmacies

See incoming prescriptions, check stock, find a partner pharmacy that has the medication, and dispatch delivery.

Privacy that puts patients first

Your health story is yours. Hospitals and pharmacies only see what you allow — and you can revoke access at any time, from any device.

Consent-based access

Doctors and pharmacies see your record only after you grant access.

Time-limited sharing

Grant access for a single visit, a week, or until you revoke it.

Full audit trail

See exactly who opened your record, when, and why.

Encrypted end-to-end

Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Your NIN is never exposed in URLs.

Everything you need, in one place

From booking to delivery — AfyaConnect quietly handles the paperwork so you can focus on getting better.

Find a doctor

Search by specialty, language and distance — and book a visit in two taps.

Lifelong record

Every visit, lab result and prescription stays with you for life.

Smart prescriptions

Sent digitally to any partner pharmacy — no more lost paper scripts.

Home delivery

Order your medication and have it delivered the same day in many districts.

Emergency card

A quick-access card with allergies, blood type and contacts for first responders.

Works offline

Install AfyaConnect as an app — your record loads even on weak signal.

A visit, end to end

Four steps. One record. Everyone in sync.

1

Sign in with NIN

Your National ID + a one-time code keeps your record uniquely yours.

2

Visit any clinic

The doctor sees only the history you've shared — and adds today's notes.

It arrives instantly at any partner pharmacy you choose.

4

Pickup or delivery

Collect it nearby or have it delivered to your door.
