Doctors Explain Launches Multimedia Health Platform | MedicalTV.Live Kenya

NAIROBI, KENYA — Doctors Explain, a prominent digital health social enterprise in Kenya, has officially launched its new, comprehensive multimedia platform. The new venture, accessible at https://medicaltv.live/, is set to transform how Kenyans access health information and entertainment by combining live TV, YouTube livestreams, and a unique collection of medical specialty radio stations into one seamless digital experience.

The platform is a direct response to Kenya’s critical healthcare challenges, including a severe shortage of medical professionals and widespread health misinformation. With just one doctor for every 17,000 Kenyans—far below the WHO’s recommended ratio of 1:1,000—communities often struggle to access reliable care. By offering a range of content in both local dialects and English, the platform addresses the nation’s health literacy crisis with accessible, culturally-aware resources.

Key Benefits for the Public:

• Expanded Health Education: Users can tune into live radio streams like The Cancer Radio and The Heartbeat Radio to get specialized, reliable information on critical health topics. This is a vital step in bridging the information gap that affects millions.
• Accessible Content: By featuring content in multiple formats—from visual television to audio-only radio—the platform ensures that crucial health information is available to a wider audience, regardless of their internet connection or device type.
• General Entertainment: Beyond its core healthcare mission, the platform also offers entertainment through its IPTV and YouTube sections, making it a comprehensive and engaging destination for all users. This blended approach attracts a broader audience while subtly integrating health education into daily life.

Background and Mission

Doctors Explain was founded to tackle Kenya’s most pressing health challenges: inequitable access to care, low health literacy, and fragmented health systems. Since inception, it has directly impacted over 10,000 users, deployed its Medical & Hospital Management Information System (MHMIS) in 5 hospitals and 30+ clinics, and onboarded 15+ licensed doctors. Its vision is to democratize healthcare for every Kenyan, everywhere—particularly in underserved rural communities.

Through affordable telemedicine services, multilingual education campaigns, AI-powered health intelligence, and scalable digital hospital management solutions, Doctors Explain continues to pioneer community-driven, tech-enabled healthcare transformation in East Africa.

Potential Impact

By 2028, Doctors Explain aims to:

• Reach 10 million Kenyans with health services or education.
• Digitize 100+ hospitals and clinics across rural Kenya.
• Train 5,000+ health workers in digital-first care delivery.
• Contribute to UN SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequality).

The multimedia platform is a crucial next step in this journey—scaling the organization’s impact from thousands to millions. By leveraging entertainment and education together, it has the potential to reshape how Kenyans think about, access, and act on healthcare information.

Call to Action

Doctors Explain invites Kenyans, policymakers, NGOs, and the global health community to join this movement. Whether by tuning in, sharing content, partnering, or investing, every contribution helps bring the vision of equitable, informed, and accessible healthcare closer to reality.
