Our Mission · Lab & Pharmacy

Lab tests & medication, connected.

The two places where care most often breaks down — and the two we built Pharmacompare around. Requests travel on their own, results come back on their own, and medication is found before you leave the house.

  • Lab request attached automatically
  • Results back to your doctor
  • Stock checked before you order

The Handoff Problem

Every handoff used to go through you

Count the arrows. Before, every one of them was the patient walking across the city with a piece of paper. Now the record moves and you don't.

Lab Testing, In Detail

From request to result

  1. 01

    The request arrives on its own

    When your doctor recommends a test, the request is written into your consultation. There is no paper slip to carry and nothing to copy out — the lab sees exactly what was asked for.

  2. 02

    Choose a lab you trust

    Compare verified partner labs near you by distance, price and patient rating. Prices are shown in XAF before you book, so there are no surprises at the counter.

  3. 03

    Book a collection slot

    Pick a time that fits your day. If that time stops working on their side, they reschedule with you to a day and time that suits you both — instead of simply not being there when you arrive. Your request travels with the booking, so you walk in, show your booking code, and you are done.

  4. 04

    Your sample is linked to your record

    At the lab, your sample is matched to your booking rather than to a handwritten form — fewer mix-ups, no repeated paperwork.

  5. 05

    Results come back to both of you

    Results are released into the app and sent to the doctor who requested them at the same moment. If something needs follow-up, your doctor already has it.

Medication, In Detail

Find it before you leave the house

  1. 01

    Your prescription is already there

    The moment your doctor writes it, it appears in your account — ready to send.

  2. 02

    See real stock nearby

    Partner pharmacies keep availability current, so “in stock” means on the shelf.

  3. 03

    Compare price and distance

    Weigh the cheapest option against the closest one, side by side, before you commit.

  4. 04

    Pickup or delivery

    Collect it on your way home, or have a rider bring it to your door and follow them live.

Before You Book

The questions we hear most

Yes. Your request works at any verified partner lab, so you can pick the one closest to home or work, or the one with the earliest slot.

You and the doctor who requested the test. Sharing them with anyone else — another doctor, for example — is your choice, made in the app.

The pharmacy has to confirm your order before preparing it. If it can't, you're notified straight away and can re-order from the next pharmacy with stock — your prescription stays attached.

Checkout supports MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money. If your insurance is linked, your receipt can be sent to your insurer for reimbursement.

Only for prescription medicines. Everyday products a pharmacy can sell over the counter can be ordered without one.

Tests and treatment, on one thread.

Book a lab, compare pharmacies and track your order — all from the consultation that started it.
