The Problem
Why MedSearch Rwanda Exists
Every day, patients across Rwanda leave hospital with a prescription and face an uncertain journey to find their medicines.
Wasted Trips
Patients leave hospital with a prescription and visit multiple pharmacies before finding one that has everything in stock — wasting time, money, and energy.
High Transport Costs
An unnecessary second or third pharmacy visit adds real financial burden, especially for patients travelling long distances to reach healthcare facilities.
Missed Doses
When patients can't find all their medicines at one pharmacy, they may skip doses or delay treatment — with direct consequences for their health.
No Stock Visibility
There is no shared system for pharmacies to communicate real-time availability to patients. The information gap exists even when the medicine is nearby.
What We Do
How MedSearch Rwanda Helps
A simple, free tool that bridges the information gap between patients, pharmacies, and doctors across Rwanda.
Free Medicine Search
Search for any medicine or pharmacy by name, filter by insurance scheme, and see which nearby pharmacies have it in stock — no account required.
Prescription Code Lookup
Doctors generate a unique code at the end of each consultation. Patients enter it to instantly see which pharmacies have every medicine on their prescription.
Distance-Sorted Results
Results are sorted by distance from your location using GPS or your selected district, so the nearest pharmacy with your medicine always appears first.
Insurance-Aware
Filter results by Mutuelle de Santé, RAMA, or MMI so you only see pharmacies that accept your insurance scheme.
Privacy by Design
Pharmacy stock quantities, pricing, and supplier details are never exposed publicly. Patients only see binary availability — Available or Out of Stock.
No Account Needed
Any patient can search for medicines and pharmacies without creating an account. Registration is only required for doctors and pharmacists.
