At East Africa Genome (EAG), we believe that everyone deserves the chance to understand their health on a deeper level — not just through symptoms and treatments, but by exploring the very code that makes us who we are: our genes.
We started EAG with a simple but powerful idea — to bring genomic healthcare closer to the people of East Africa. Whether it’s a child struggling with an undiagnosed condition, a parent looking for answers, or a doctor trying to make the best decision for their patient, our work is about giving people knowledge, choices, and hope.
Across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Somalia, we work hand in hand with hospitals, universities, and local health systems to offer affordable genetic testing, counselling, training, and AI-powered tools. We also run a growing biobank and genetic data registry to support research and better health planning in the region.
But we’re not just focused on technology — we’re focused on people. We make sure our services are easy to access, culturally respectful, and adapted to the needs of every community we serve. Through our tele-genetics platform, we reach families in rural villages and urban clinics alike. Through our education programs, we train the next generation of genetic counsellors and researchers — from East Africa, for East Africa.
What drives us is the belief that genetic conditions should not be a life sentence, nor a mystery. With the right tools and support, we can catch diseases early, guide treatment plans, and give people the information they need to live fuller, healthier lives.
We’re proud to be building something more than a company — we’re building a movement for equitable healthcare, where science meets compassion, and no one is left behind.
