Samuel Okwuada combined pharmacy experience, a software studio and pharmaceutical supplier relationships to build Remedial Health in Nigeria. The trigger was the 2020 Lagos lockdown: pharmacies and hospitals could operate, but the open markets where they bought medicines were closed. Pharmacies began calling the number on his medicine packaging, asking for small quantities that his import business had not been set up to sell. Remedial's first version had no software. Customers called or used WhatsApp, and the team manually sourced and delivered products. The technology followed the operation: customer, sales-agent and driver apps plus an ERP for procurement, warehouse inventory, pick-and-pack, barcodes and scanning. The company now has more than 450 people, about 100 vehicles on the road, three warehouses and a stated throughput of 100 million medicines annually. The interview describes more than $50 million raised and a business that also has to own pharmaceutical logistics because dedicated cold-chain infrastructure is scarce.
