We’re Four Minute Medicine

Building a suite of learning, research, and job/opportunity products

Our Why

“Africa bears 24% of the global disease burden but represents only 3% of the world’s health workforce.”

WHO. 2006. The world health report: working together for health.

Diagnostic errors and preventable harm

Unsafe care causes 2.6 million avoidable deaths each year in low- and middle-income countries. Without proper tools and support, diagnostic and treatment errors become more likely.

Healthcare workforce shortages hinder clinical training

In many African hospitals, clinician teams face overwhelming patient loads. With limited time for supervision, junior doctors often navigate complex cases with minimal support.

Reliance on generic resources

Many doctors rely on global platforms that miss region-specific guidelines and resource constraints. This mismatch creates critical knowledge gaps at the bedside.

Our Team

We’re a small, mission-driven team based in South Africa. Founded by doctors trained in medical education, we bring first-hand experience from the frontline.
