Two Innovators & One Mission

At Vula Medical, we believe that solving South Africa's healthcare challenges requires more than just one solution—it requires a community of innovators working together.

That's why we are proud to partner with companies like Zebra Medical, who share our mission to bridge structural gaps in public healthcare.

Here is what Zebra Medical had to say about working with us:
"What the Vula Medical platform has contributed to the public healthcare space is unique and demonstrates the exact smarts that we need to solve for some of the structural gaps in our healthcare system.

And that's where I feel the Butterfly handheld ultrasound probe plays the same unique role. In a world where our healthcare system is operating under increasing pressure from workforce shortages, high patient volumes and geographic inequity, POCUS is emerging as one of the most efficient high-impact clinical tools available.

Just like the Vula mobile platform, it can facilitate those focus-driven questions to inform triage, procedural safety, escalation and referral.
Zebra Medical is committed to working with Vula Medical to ensure that as many public healthcare professionals as possible have access to the Butterfly probe and POCUS skills, and to combine forces to bring better care to all South Africans."

Thank you, Zebra Medical, for your trust and partnership. Read more:

One of our team members spent the past two days at Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Hospital. Here's the Ophthalmology department.

They've been using Vula since 2015. Last year alone, over 3,900 patient referrals went through Vula to this one department.

It's a busy place. We're glad we can help in their busy day.

There's nothing quite like hearing directly from the health professionals who use Vula every day.

Meet 3 health professionals who downloaded Vula in March and are already very busy on the platform. Here's their feedback on how Vula helps them:

So today, we want to celebrate them and share what they're saying.

🗣️ "Vula simplifies the referral process so much. It's much easier to refer patients who can't be managed at a Primary Healthcare level."
— Kamva-Qama Tambekile, Chatty Clinic, Eastern Cape

🗣️ "Vula has improved my work, educated me on more complex plans being expressed, and the images are a bonus!"
— Kate Pringle, Duncan Village CHC & Frere Hospital

🗣️ "I just started as a comm serve psychologist at Khayelitsha Hospital. I was really impressed how easy it makes referrals."
— Lisa Beasley, Khayelitsha Psychology

To every hard-working health professional on Vula—thank you for trusting us, for referring with care, and for being part of the Vula Family. 💙

A warm welcome to the Colposcopy Clinic at Karl Bremer Hospital — joining the Vula family! 🏥

Fun fact: They joined just a few months ago and already had a record month of referrals in March. That's the power of connecting. Now this team can with Vula track their referrals, know how many referrals were send and receive to their clinic and can make data-driven decisions on how to run their clinic going forward. No more paper referrals getting lost in the system.

When healthcare professionals feel supported, patients get better care. That's the simple truth behind everything we do at Vula.

We're proud to partner with Sanofi to deliver impactful education to doctors and clinicians across South Africa—especially in complex areas like rare diseases.

Here's what Monique Nel from Sanofi shared about working together:

"Vula has been a bridge between knowledge and care, aiming to ensure that no patient goes undiagnosed and no clinician faces the unknown without support."

Moments like these remind us why partnerships matter: they help real people get answers, get diagnosed, and get the care they deserve.
