Company mission
To provide patients with healthcare that is accessible and dependable, at a fraction of today's cost.
Our take
Many companies in healthcare have tried to innovate by replacing doctors with AI or putting doctors on video (for example Babylon Health).
Zava is not doing this. Instead, patients fill in online questionnaires that simulate the in-person consultation. Patients still get responses from doctors and can request follow-ups. The benefit is that patients have more time to fill out their answers, and can do so when is convenient. This often results in more thorough and direct responses.
Access to medical care 7 days a week online and via phone and video consultations at a location of the patient’s choice, has proven extremely popular.
Zava has acquired Medlanes (a Berlin-based digital health startup) along with its network of more than 200 local GPs and specialists across Germany. Zava has also announced its partnership with the supermarket giant, Asda. This partnership and acquisition have strengthened Zava's position as the leader of telemedicine and since its launch has expanded across the UK, Germany, Ireland, and France.

It’s fantastic to be working for a company that is shaping the future of primary healthcare. Over the past few years we have made some meaningful strides as we scale our operation and expand our product offering. The Covid pandemic has only accelerated the need for innovation.

ZAVA is the most diverse workplace I have had the pleasure to work in. There are so many nationalities and backgrounds within the team making a safe and supportive environment to work and a friendly culture. I believe the range of perspective drives better decisions and I love learning about the different cultures of my colleagues.

Redefining European healthcare is not an easy fix, you can’t lift and shift a product and just translate it. ZAVA provides meaningful challenge, there is never a boring day with so many projects and initiatives going live. This pushes me to always be a better version of myself, grow as an individual and learn new skill sets.

Challenging work

I am trusted to manage my workload, manage my projects and essentially manage my job how I want to! I've been able to get involved and lead so many projects I never was able to in my last company. It's great to work for a growing company as it means there are lots of new projects/procedures that need improving and you can really make a difference.

Autonomy
Feb 2022
I have been working from home and even post COVID am able to continue to do so, with the office being there if I want it. I can be flexible with my hours when I need to be (as long as I'm free within the core business hours). I don't have children myself, but a lot of people at ZAVA do and you can see how much this flexibility means to them.

Asides from the people, one of the main reasons I joined ZAVA was the mission. It's evident to everyone how important healthcare is, and to be part of a company who are dedicated to making it accessible for everyone makes me feel very proud to be a part of it!
