Access to essential medicines
Our focus is the financial barrier between a patient and the medication they need.
Medrafa Care
Care should not stop at the pharmacy counter.
Medrafa Care is our commitment to making essential medicines more accessible to people who cannot afford them. Because better healthcare should include the people facing the greatest barriers.

of our profits dedicated to supporting patients who cannot afford essential medicines at the pharmacy level.
Our published commitmentA commitment that puts people first.
A prescription is only part of the journey. For someone who cannot afford the medicine, the next step can still feel out of reach. Medrafa Care gives our commitment to a more compassionate health system a practical focus.
The 2% figure is our published profit-allocation commitment. It describes what we have pledged, rather than a count of people reached or money already distributed.
Better access starts with people.
Dignity in every interaction
A more compassionate healthcare system starts with seeing the person behind the prescription.
Community at the center
Pharmacies, healthcare providers and community organizations are central to the program described in our public commitment.
Rooted in the communities care depends on.
Across Ethiopia, healthcare is personal: a conversation, a familiar pharmacy, a professional who listens. Our vision for Medrafa Care places those connections at the center.
