At Vula Medical, we are proud to celebrate a significant milestone in recognition of our founder, Dr William Mapham, who was recently honoured with the Discovery Health Leadership Award.

This award acknowledges leaders who have shown resilience, innovation, and vision in shaping the future of healthcare. For us at Vula, it reflects the journey of transforming a simple idea of making specialist advice more accessible into a tool that has now supported over two million patient referrals across South Africa.

Dr Mapham’s achievement is not just a personal recognition but also a spotlight on the thousands of health professionals who use Vula daily to deliver better care.

“The award belongs to every health worker who believes in a more connected, collaborative healthcare system.”

– Dr Mapham

We thank Discovery Health for this recognition and remain committed to building technology that empowers healthcare workers and strengthens health systems.
