Dove Payments Gateway, a healthcare-focused technology startup based in Accra, Ghana, has emerged from its private beta testing phase. The firm aims to simplify healthcare payments for developing markets, starting with Ghana.
By utilizing the platform offered by Dove Payments, healthcare providers can easily make payments for various expenses such as waste management, equipment maintenance, pharmaceutical suppliers, and laundry services. The company’s transfer-check mechanism ensures that the Healthcare Business Owner (HBO) gives approval for all financial transactions, which ensures full accountability and traceability of funds disbursement.
Furthermore, Dove Payments allows patients to scan and pay for their healthcare bills and out-of-pocket expenses, which the healthcare facilities can receive in their Dove Wallet.

Founder and CEO Alexander Okereke expressed his excitement at the launch and said, “With my experience working with hundreds of providers across Ghana, we see a great opportunity to support healthcare businesses and owners with moving from cash and cheque modes of payment to a simple and secure cashless system (online and offline) that provides immense benefit to their businesses and ensures better health outcomes for the patients that they serve. We hope to be the backbone of all healthcare payments by providers and patients across the continent in the near future.”
Dove Payments aims to help healthcare business owners transition into a more digital-based payment solution that prioritizes proper oversight and fiscal accountability. NewHealth Technologies Ltd, the parent company of Dove Payments, also announced that Henry Kwasi Kpano, a Senior Data Specialist with extensive experience, will be joining its Board and taking up an Advisor role for Data Operation.
