Learning Across Borders: Primetel Visits Lwala Community Alliance

Primetel

Primetel Health Field Dispatch

Primetel visited Lwala Community Alliance in Kenya for a learning exchange focused on strengthening community-led healthcare, primary care, and digital health systems.

The visit provided an opportunity to learn from Lwala’s approach to community engagement, clinical service delivery, and digital health records, including paperless operations.

As Primetel strengthens its integrated model of primary care, mental health, digital health, and community outreach in rural Tanzania, these insights will help inform efforts to build more efficient, accessible, and responsive healthcare services.

Beyond sharing experiences, the visit reinforced a shared lesson: stronger health systems are built when communities are at the centre and organizations learn from one another.

Primetel Graduates from Mastercard Foundation FAST Program, Strengthening Path to Scale

Primetel has successfully graduated from the Mastercard Foundation Fund for Alumni Start-ups in Transition (FAST) Program—marking a significant milestone in its journey toward building a scalable, resilient, and impact-driven health system. The FAST Program is a highly competitive initiative designed to support emerging African enterprises at critical stages of growth. Through a combination of financial support, mentorship, and structured business development training, the program equips founders with the tools needed to strengthen operations, refine strategy, and position their ventures for long-term sustainability. Participation in the program enabled Primetel to deepen its organizational capacity—enhancing financial systems, strengthening service delivery models, and advancing its integrated approach to healthcare. The experience also provided access to a network of mentors, partners, and fellow entrepreneurs across the continent, reinforcing Primetel’s position within a broader ecosystem of innovation and social impact. More importantly, this milestone reflects external validation of Primetel’s model—an integrated system that connects community outreach, digital health, and clinical services to deliver accessible, dignified care in underserved settings. As Primetel continues to grow, the lessons, partnerships, and strategic direction gained through the FAST Program will play a critical role in shaping its next phase—scaling impact while maintaining quality, trust, and community-centered care.
