A New Name, An Evolved Mission

Today marks a significant milestone in our journey: BookADoc is becoming Nugli Health.

This isn't just a name change: it's a reflection of how far we've come since launching home healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and where we're headed as we transform healthcare delivery across Ghana.

Why "Nugli"?

The name Nugli means "life" and derives from Nilotic languages, where "nu" means "person" and "ngli" means "breath" or "essence." It's pronounced "noo-glee" and captures the essence of what we do: bringing life-giving healthcare to people in the comfort of their homes.

Healthcare should be life-affirming, personal, and accessible. That's what Nugli Health represents.

From BookADoc to Nugli Health: What's Changed?

Then: BookADoc (2020-2024)

BookADoc started with a simple premise: connect patients with healthcare providers for home visits. It was born out of necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic when people couldn't safely visit hospitals.

We offered:

Healthcare provider home visits for consultations
Basic diagnostics
Medication delivery
Follow-up care

It worked. We served thousands of patients, built a network of healthcare professionals, and proved that home healthcare could work in Ghana.

But we also learned that people wanted more.

Now: Nugli Health (2025 and Beyond)
