This Episode of The Peswa Podcast is with Mr. Andrew Otchere, the Co-Founder and CEO of Refill, a groundbreaking health tech company revolutionising access to medicine in Ghana.

After dropping out of university and experiencing seven failed business ventures, Andrew’s resilience and vision finally paid off with his eighth venture—Refill, a company with a clear mission: make medicines available and affordable for everyone.

Ghana faces a deep healthcare challenge—2 out of 4 citizens live with chronic conditions, yet many can’t find or afford the drugs they need. In regions like the Upper East, there isn’t a single functioning pharmacy. Patients are left stranded.

Refill is changing that by empowering pharmacies and healthcare spaces with tools to track, supply, and provide affordable medications. But Andrew isn’t just tackling infrastructure—he’s challenging a broken system where pharmacists are trained only as retailers, not caregivers.

This interview is a masterclass in grit, purpose, and real-world impact. Whether you’re in tech, healthcare, or simply need inspiration—this is a story you don’t want to miss.
