How big is 3 million? It is more than the population of Lesotho 🇱🇸

It is almost the entire population of Namibia, more than the population of the Free State and enough to fill Soccer City 32 times.

For Vula, it represents 3 million referral cases. Across these cases, health professionals shared clinical information, specialists responded and care teams worked to determine the next step in a patient’s care.

Swipe to put the milestone into perspective ➡️

The curve tells a story of momentum, one referral at a time 📈

Vula has just passed 3 million Vulas (patient referrals), and every one of them meant someone got the right care at the right time.

Since 2014, this line has been built by health professionals submitting referrals, specialists responding and care teams working together to determine the next step in a patient’s care.

And the line is still rising

When Vula Medical recorded 367 referrals in 2014, three million felt unimaginable.

This milestone is a tribute to the Vula team and to the health professionals who use Vula to help their patients every day 🎉

Here are just some of the health professionals celebrating with us. Thank you for trusting Vula with your patients.

Vula Medical has passed a significant milestone — our 3 millionth patient referrals!

Not data points, but people. People who needed a specialist, sometimes urgently, and received one.

To imagine that number, 1 out of every 21 South Africans has been involved with Vula Medical as a patient or a health professional.

When we started 12 years ago, Vula Medical had only 367 referrals during all of 2014. At that time, we thought only two types of health professionals—doctors and nurses—would use Vula. Fast forward, and Vula is used daily by 105 different types of health professionals across South Africa, Lesotho, Zambia, Botswana and Eswatini. A patient is now helped every 43 seconds.

More than 45,000 health professionals are registered on Vula!

Our mission remains clear: connecting health professionals to improve patient care.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey! You can make a difference — share this link to connect more health professionals and improve healthcare for more people.

Our team attended the Rural & Family SAAFP Conference in Gauteng last week!

CEO Dr William Mapham presented on “Improving Access to Specialist Services in Rural Areas.”

One of the highlights was meeting some of the healthcare professionals we’ve worked with for five years or more — for the first time in person! It was a very special moment to connect face-to-face and celebrate the work they have done.

Happening today at 12h20.

Dr William Mapham is presenting “Improving access to specialist services in rural areas” at the Rural Health & Family Physicians Joint Congress in Midrand — Chestnut Room, in the AI, Technology and Digital Health track.
(https://lnkd.in/dFwzjKFX)

A fitting room to be in. Vula Medical started in a rural hospital in the Eastern Cape, built to solve exactly this problem: a doctor in a district hospital needing a specialist opinion, with no straightforward way to get one.

If you’re at the congress, come and say hello.

“Vula’s changed the way we work.”
That’s how the Surgery Department at Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Hospital in Kimberley describes life with Vula.

For a public hospital serving the Northern Cape — the largest province in South Africa by area — every referral decision carries weight. Distance, transfer costs and clinician availability all sit behind a single referral.

Here’s what the team told us has changed:
🔄 Workflow and task-sharing. When the on-call clinician is in theatre, referral management can be handed over to another medical officer without losing continuity — and picked back up again when they’re free. As the team put it: “This level of flexibility and task-sharing would not have been possible without Vula.”

📵 Fewer interruptions. Fielding phone calls between theatre cases and ER reviews was the most tedious part of being on call. Vula has taken that pressure off.

🚑 Cost savings. Being able to prioritise transfers and referrals more effectively has reduced unnecessary emergency inter-facility transfers — a direct saving for the department.

📋 A clear record. Telephonic referrals were prone to miscommunication and “he said, she said” discrepancies. Vula provides a time-stamped medicolegal record of every clinical discussion, protecting patients and clinicians alike.
Thank you to the surgery team in Kimberley for sharing this with us. Stories like these are why we build.
