Ndemera recognized by NHS
'In 2004, I experienced a devastating loss - I lost my dad and father-in-law within a week, both due to undiagnosed diabetes. The pain, anger, and frustration I felt were overwhelming. But I made a choice - I decided to channel that pain into something positive,' shared Fungai Ndemera, a visionary entrepreneur and the driving force behind CheckUp Health UK.
Ndemera's personal tragedy became the catalyst for her incredible journey of innovation and transformation in the healthcare industry. With an unwavering determination, she turned her energy into creating CheckUp Health, a groundbreaking solution that has now become more than just a technology platform - it's a lifeline.
Through CheckUp Health, Ndemera and her passionate team are not only saving lives but also addressing crucial issues faced by GP practices, such as appointment access and improving patient health outcomes. Their dedication and impact have not gone unnoticed, and the National Health Service (NHS) recently honored Ndemera by featuring her inspiring story in the official book, 'Celebrating 75 Years of the National Health Service,' published by SJH Group.
This collaborative effort between the History of Parliament Trust and publisher St. James's House delves deep into the rich history, origins, and impact of the NHS. It is a significant recognition for Ndemera and highlights her pivotal role in shaping the healthcare landscape.
Within the pages of this prestigious book, readers will discover not only the stories of politicians and healthcare professionals but also the narratives of patients whose lives have been touched by the NHS. It showcases the remarkable progress made in various spheres - social, technological, commercial, and cultural - and celebrates the collective efforts of everyone involved.
Expressing her gratitude, Ndemera acknowledges her incredible team, led by Clinical Director Serena Salamat Jones, who witnessed the book launch. Together, they are committed to making healthcare equitable and accessible to everyone through digital transformation. The event provided an opportunity for Ndemera to connect with renowned personalities like Kay Burley, who presented the book, and distinguished panel guests like Adrienne Boissy.
'For me, this journey is a testament to the power of resilience, innovation, and the desire to make a difference. It's proof that even in the face of adversity, we can find the strength to create positive change,' Ndemera passionately stated. Her hope is that her story will inspire others to transform their own challenges into opportunities for impact.
