Our Journey
From a referral problem to an operating system
Fastclinic was founded in 2022. By 2026, it had grown from a single telehealth bet into an ecosystem of products sharing one identity, one currency, and one record system. This is how that happened — and why we built infrastructure before products.
Every digital-health company we looked at was solving a slice of the problem and rebuilding the plumbing under it: their own login, their own billing, their own records. For patients, that meant a new account at every provider. For clinicians, it meant yet another disconnected portal. For regulators, it meant there was no single place where a patient could say “who has access to my health record?” and expect a clear answer.
We made the unusual call to build the plumbing first. One identity. One balance. One place for records. If we got that right, every product we shipped afterwards — and every partner we integrated with — would inherit it for free. The timeline below is the story of that bet.
How we got here
Fastclinic is founded
Fastclinic Limited was incorporated in Abuja, Nigeria (RC 1919428, CAMA 2020). The seed observation: patients in Nigeria were being stranded at hospitals that couldn't treat them, while every digital-health product reinvented identity, billing, and records in isolation.
Doorcta begins
We began building Doorcta — on-demand doctor matching — as the first real test of the thesis that AI-powered healthcare could be built natively for Nigeria. Doorcta would become the flagship application that exposed every cross-cutting problem the ecosystem would later solve.
OneHealth begins
Rather than bury health records inside Doorcta's database, we pulled them out into a dedicated platform. OneHealth became the place patient records would live for every Fastclinic product — with patient-controlled consent at its core, and a compliance posture engineered for NDPA 2023 and the National Health Act from day one.
FastLogin and FastCredits come online
We shipped the final two pieces of shared infrastructure: FastLogin (one sign-in across every product) and FastCredits (one balance across every product). With FastLogin, FastCredits, and OneHealth running, the ecosystem stopped being a roadmap and started being real infrastructure.
The ecosystem crystallises
Doorcta migrated onto the shared stack: FastLogin for identity, FastCredits for billing, OneHealth for records. What began as a single telehealth product in 2022 became an operating system for healthcare — where every new product inherits identity, billing, and records for free.
Where we're headed
The four products live today are the start. Anything built on top of Fastclinic inherits a sign-in, a balance, and a record system — so the next products can be small and focused, not full platforms in themselves.
We’re deliberately quiet about specific unshipped work. If you’re a healthcare organisation with a problem the ecosystem could solve, we’d rather talk to you first and build with you than announce.
The ecosystem is still being built
If you're thinking about what better healthcare infrastructure in Nigeria could look like — we are too. Come build with us.
