• BawaHealth, founded in 2025, provides digital infrastructure to improve access to healthcare across Africa.

• The platform connects hospitals, doctors and patients without delivering medical care directly.

• Founder Nafieu Bawa combines fintech and healthtech expertise to scale digital solutions through Ndel Technologies.

Nafieu Bawa, a Ghanaian fintech entrepreneur, founded and leads BawaHealth, an innovative healthtech company. He aims to improve access to healthcare in Africa by leveraging existing medical infrastructures rather than replacing them.

BawaHealth, founded in 2025, positions itself as a partner to healthcare institutions instead of a substitute. The company provides a comprehensive digital environment that enables hospitals to organize operations, manage consultations and maintain continuous communication between doctors and patients, including remotely.

The platform targets three primary users. Hospitals use it to structure services and increase the visibility of their doctors. Healthcare professionals use it to manage appointments and monitor patients. Patients use it to find doctors, access teleconsultations and book in-person visits without long waiting times.

BawaHealth operates on a clear principle. The platform does not deliver medical care directly. Instead, it provides a secure digital infrastructure that allows accredited hospitals and practitioners to monitor patients, including after hospitalization or during chronic disease management. Therefore, medical responsibility remains fully with healthcare professionals.

At the same time, Nafieu Bawa founded Ndel Technologies in 2025. The company develops and deploys innovative digital solutions at scale to address some of Africa’s most pressing challenges. It acts as an innovation hub and builds platforms at the intersection of fintech, healthtech, civictech and culture-tech.

Nafieu Bawa graduated from the University of Ghana with a bachelor’s degree in information science and political science. He also earned a master’s degree in finance from the University of Northampton in the United Kingdom.

Between 2018 and 2025, he served as director of Crown Medical Centre Ghana, where he gained extensive experience in healthcare management before launching his ventures.
