About Us
Building tools for people who care.
Medic builds world-class, open-source software that supports health workers delivering equitable care that reaches everyone. Human-centered at our core, we value creativity, initiative, collaboration, and trust. Our global team of innovators is 90+ strong, dispersed across more than 14 countries, 32 cities, and all time zones. We create resources, build documentation, and offer support to a growing community of partners and builders working to improve health in the hardest-to-reach communities.
We are part of a global movement advancing health for all.
Medic serves as the technical steward and a core contributor to the Community Health Toolkit (CHT), an open-source platform that supports health workers as they provide essential care in their own communities. We are part of a movement for global health equity aimed at changing how health systems work and how technology powers those systems.

Vision
We envision a more just world in which health workers are supported as they provide care for their communities, where universal health coverage is a reality, and health is a secured human right – for everyone, everywhere, always.

- Humanity: Human-centered everything.
- Creativity: Bring the right things into existence.
