“The app is named
after my daughter, Zuri, who was born in 2013. Despite being at one of the best
hospitals in Kenya, we could not get a doctor to attend to my wife on time
while she was in labour,” per Ikechukwu Anoke the chief executive of Zuri

business whereby “an underlying health problem in a Covid environment, it was
vital to think about the provision of healthcare in a different way.”

shut down services worldwide. Ikechukwu seized the opportunity to develop Zuri
