Zumbudda Pty Ltd

Zumbudda is a unique website platform where people can make contact directly with experts in the health and wellness industry and engage on a range of topics through a chat live service, in REAL-Time. It is also a place for experts to reach out to population groups which have limited experts in certain specialities or to people who do not have the resources to access them. The website platform performs the function of hosting the chat and there is a rating and feedback function, as well as an expert screening process during registration to monitor and manage the quality of expert services. “In many parts of the world, people can spend more time travelling to a consultation and sitting in a waiting room than the time spent in front of a consultant. The issue can often be minor but they need an expert opinion to resolve the situation or make an informed decision on what to do next.” “In the healthcare space this is particularly relevant as there is a growing trend towards people turning to Google for health information to solve minor problems. Unfortunately Google is a library and not an expert. We believe that the time has come to take the business of consulting to the virtual world where people who are searching for answers can find them in a secure environment. This does not replace face-to-face consultations, but provides a medium for conversation” says Gaby Lobban, founder of Zumbudda. Zumbudda has been created by a talented team with a wealth of experience in the healthcare sector, as well as advanced website programming experience which has resulted in a unique e-commerce website with a focus on high quality assurance standards, a secure payment system and excellent design functionality. Zumbudda plans to not only reach South Africans, but to become a resource for Africa, especially in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region which shares many of South Africa’s resources.
