Primetel Graduates from Mastercard Foundation FAST Program, Strengthening Path to Scale

Primetel has successfully graduated from the Mastercard Foundation Fund for Alumni Start-ups in Transition (FAST) Program—marking a significant milestone in its journey toward building a scalable, resilient, and impact-driven health system. The FAST Program is a highly competitive initiative designed to support emerging African enterprises at critical stages of growth. Through a combination of financial support, mentorship, and structured business development training, the program equips founders with the tools needed to strengthen operations, refine strategy, and position their ventures for long-term sustainability. Participation in the program enabled Primetel to deepen its organizational capacity—enhancing financial systems, strengthening service delivery models, and advancing its integrated approach to healthcare. The experience also provided access to a network of mentors, partners, and fellow entrepreneurs across the continent, reinforcing Primetel’s position within a broader ecosystem of innovation and social impact. More importantly, this milestone reflects external validation of Primetel’s model—an integrated system that connects community outreach, digital health, and clinical services to deliver accessible, dignified care in underserved settings. As Primetel continues to grow, the lessons, partnerships, and strategic direction gained through the FAST Program will play a critical role in shaping its next phase—scaling impact while maintaining quality, trust, and community-centered care.
