Making African health systems AI-ready
Muganga builds the infrastructure that lets hospitals and health systems across Africa own, structure and use their own clinical records locally, securely, and at scale.
Digitisation and structured records
Records digitised.Data structured.Decisions supported.
At Panzi, handwritten archives become one structured record per person owned by the hospital. Everything else starts there.
See the platformMonitoring, logistics, communities
Field connected.Logistics tracked.Alerts early.
Built in the field with Panzi, during the outbreak. What the field sends back changes what we build next.
Open RiposteClinical reference
A question asked.A sourced answer.The clinician decides.
A clinical reference tuned to real African practice. It does not diagnose and it does not prescribe.

Stock read.Gap detected.Signal sent.
When a zone consumes faster than usual, the signal goes out often before a case is ever declared.

Panzi Hospital, Bukavu.
Our first deployment is at Panzi Hospital in Bukavu. We are working through the hospital's clinical archive roughly 90,000 records covering more than 25 years of care and turning it into a structured dataset the hospital owns and can query.
Records are de-identified as they are processed. The dataset stays with the hospital, under a written agreement that sets out what may be stored and for how long.

The product at work
Muganga Riposte
When an epidemic starts, information arrives late, equipment arrives in the wrong place, and the community hears last. Riposte goes at all three at once.
Tracked in real time
Cases are raised where they are seen, not in an end-of-week report. Health zones, hospitals and authorities see the same picture at the same moment.
Logistics that follow
Kits, protective equipment, isolation capacity and teams requested, tracked, and sent where they are actually short.
The community at the centre
Pharmacists, community reporters and health workers are on the network, trained and equipped because they are who people go to first.
Deployed today
Riposte runs in DR Congo with Panzi Hospital, against the Bundibugyo Ebola epidemic now moving through Ituri.
How we work
Four rules we hold ourselves to.
Cite or cut
Every figure we publish carries the report it came from and the date it was current. If we cannot point at a source, the number does not go on the page.
Built for thin bandwidth
Power cuts and slow connections are the normal operating condition here, not an edge case. Pages are light, work on a phone, and do not fall apart when the network does.
The clinician decides
Nothing we ship is a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation. Our job is to put the right information in front of someone qualified to use it, not to replace their judgement.
Data stays with its owner
Clinical records belong to the facility that holds them. Any work involving them happens under a written agreement, on de-identified data, with limits set in advance.
Questions
What people ask us.
What is Muganga?
Muganga is a health technology company based in Bukavu, South Kivu, in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Muganga means 'the one who heals' in Swahili. We build the infrastructure that lets African health systems digitise and use their own clinical data and then the AI tools that sit on top of it.
What do you actually build?
Two things that hold together. First the infrastructure: turning paper clinical archives into structured datasets the facility owns and can query. Then the tools that become possible once that data is readable starting with Riposte, our epidemic response platform, then Griot and CORETX.
What is Muganga Riposte?
Riposte is an epidemic response platform. It tracks an outbreak in real time, coordinates the logistics it demands kits, equipment, capacity, teams and connects front-line providers to hospitals, health zones and the authorities. It is deployed today in DR Congo with Panzi Hospital, against the Bundibugyo Ebola epidemic.
Is Riposte only for Ebola?
No. Riposte follows epidemic and syndemic events across the continent cholera, mpox, Lassa, measles, diphtheria, polio with the source and date behind every figure. Bundibugyo Ebola is simply the outbreak the platform is deployed against right now, and the one that shaped it.
Is Muganga a medical device or a diagnostic tool?
No. Nothing we publish is a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or a substitute for clinical judgement or official public health guidance. Clinical decisions stay with clinicians.
How does Muganga handle patient data?
Clinical records belong to the facility that holds them. Any work involving them happens under a written agreement, on de-identified data, with limits set in advance on what may be stored and for how long. The public side of Riposte holds no patient data at all it runs on aggregate figures that are already published.
Why build this in eastern DR Congo?
Because this is where the problem is, and because tools designed elsewhere keep arriving late and fitting badly. Building here makes the constraints intermittent power, thin bandwidth, stretched staff design inputs rather than surprises.
How can I work with Muganga?
Request a demo, or write to us directly. We are particularly interested in hearing from health zone teams, hospital administrators, health authorities and public health researchers.
