FORMER Econet Wireless Zimbabwe software engineer, Blessing Museki, has launched a digital platform that is set to revolutionise the way Zimbabweans access essential medication and other health services.

Cloomi is a WhatsApp chatbot that works by engaging a mobile phone user in a human-like conversation. It connects users to various pharmacies and health laboratories in Harare and will soon spread to other provinces.

Accessing the service has no subscription fee for both patients and pharmacies.

“Cloomi was motivated by my personal experience seeing the struggles of friends and family looking for essential medicine back home. 

“Cloomi is like your very own personal butler in your pocket, working for you 24/7.
