It's Thumbs Up Thursday!
Every Thursday at IABC Entrepreneurs Development Company, we celebrate African entrepreneurs, business executives, and innovators who are changing the narrative of doing business in Africa and helping African businesses grow.
Christian Nwachukwu is a pharmacist, entrepreneur, and the founder of 10mg Health, a Nigerian health technology company that is transforming healthcare financing. Founded in 2022, 10mg Health was built to address a challenge that affects millions of Africans—the inability to access quality healthcare due to financial constraints.
Through its flagship solution, 10mgCredit, the company enables hospitals and pharmacies to access financing, ensuring that healthcare providers can continue to serve patients even when immediate payment is not possible.
Christian's vision goes beyond healthcare financing. By leveraging technology and data-driven solutions, he is helping to create a more accessible and efficient healthcare system while supporting the growth of healthcare businesses across Nigeria.
His innovative approach has earned 10mg Health a place on Bloomberg's 2026 Startups to Watch list, recognizing the company's growing impact on Africa's healthcare ecosystem.
Samuel Okwuada is the co-founder and CEO of Remedial Health, a Nigerian health technology company dedicated to improving pharmaceutical distribution and access to quality medicines. Founded in 2021, Remedial Health is tackling one of Africa's most pressing healthcare challenges—the circulation of counterfeit and substandard medicines and inefficiencies within the pharmaceutical supply chain.
Under Samuel's leadership, the company has developed technology solutions that help pharmacies and healthcare providers manage inventory, verify suppliers, and access financing for medicine procurement.
Today, Remedial Health serves thousands of healthcare providers and has facilitated millions of dollars in medicine financing, helping businesses operate more efficiently while improving access to trusted healthcare products.
Through innovation, leadership, and a commitment to solving real problems, Christian Nwachukwu and Samuel Okwuada are making significant contributions to healthcare, entrepreneurship, and business growth in Africa.
Christian and Samuel have got our thumbs up for this week at IABC Entrepreneurs Development Company.
