Founded in 2016, Code Blue Africa (Lesotho Division) was founded by four medical professionals and a business and entrepreneurship professional. The idea was inspired by the numerous accidents and emergencies occurrences encountered without timely and adequate treatment.

Your factors differentiating and disruptive compared to the existing
Our line of work is disruptive because the services and business model is specific to developing countries with poor healthcare and emergency response.
Your business model (how do you make money?)
Code Blue Africa’s has a traditional for profit business model for the trainings and on-site treatment. However, the on-site treatment is presently a partnership with an established clinic that has equipment. The business model for the sale of emergency medical equipment is a retail model where we purchase directly from the manufacturer, add a price mark-up and sell to companies. Other services have not began to function but will assume a similar business model.
Current players in Lesotho’s healthcare industry include clinics, hospitals and NGOs. Red Cross Lesotho offers First Aid Trainings but they do not include, CPR, AED use, Basic Life Support and Early Warning Signs. Clinics and hospitals currently do not offer on-site treatment, information relating to medical conditions and provision of medical equipment. There are two paramedic companies which offer road ambulance services at premium rates, therefore neglecting the general public.
