CURAFA is proud to feature an exclusive interview with our CEO, Daphne Ngunjiri, as she shares insights into the CURAFA franchise model, its community impact, and the vision for the future of accessible primary healthcare in Kenya and beyond.

Empowering Communities Through Localised Healthcare

In the interview, Daphne highlights how CURAFA’s community-based clinics are designed to bring quality, affordable healthcare closer to families — especially in underserved areas where access to essential health services is limited.

By integrating pharmacies, laboratories, telemedicine, and preventive health programs under one roof, CURAFA is redefining how primary healthcare can be delivered sustainably and efficiently at the local level.

“Our goal is to make quality healthcare accessible to everyone — not just in cities, but in every community,” says Daphne Ngunjiri.
“Through the Curafa franchise model, we empower healthcare entrepreneurs to serve their neighborhoods with the tools, training, and technology needed to deliver excellent care.”

A Scalable Model for the Future of Healthcare

Daphne explains how CURAFA’s partnership with Access Afya has helped strengthen the franchise model with robust digital health systems, performance tracking, and operational support. This approach ensures that every Curafa clinic delivers consistent, patient-centered care — at an affordable price point.

Each clinic leverages AfyaSmart, the digital health platform used across the network, to monitor service quality, manage patient data, and support remote consultations — enabling continuity of care even in challenging environments.

Impact in Action

Today, Curafa clinics are serving tens of thousands of patients across Kenya — offering comprehensive services such as:

• Chronic disease management

• Maternal and child health

• Laboratory and diagnostic testing

• Family planning and reproductive health

• Nutrition and wellness services

• General outpatient and first aid

Daphne also discusses how CURAFA continues to invest in community engagement, training for healthcare workers, and innovative financing models that make healthcare affordable for families at every income level.

Looking Ahead

In her conversation, Daphne shares CURAFA’s vision for the future — one where primary healthcare is powered by local leadership, supported by technology, and sustained through partnerships with organizations that share our mission.

“We believe in scaling impact responsibly,” she notes.
“By building strong local franchises, we’re creating lasting change — healthier families, thriving communities, and a more inclusive healthcare system for all.”
