Open-source healthcare OS for Egypt & the Arab world
About the startup
Balsm (بلسم) is the first open-source healthcare management ecosystem built for Egypt and the Arab world. Our MVP is a patient-facing app — helping individuals manage their health records, medications, and provider interactions — running on minimal infrastructure costs. The broader platform will expand to pharmacies, clinics, hospitals, labs, and blood banks with an Arabic-first, offline-first, FHIR R4-compliant design. Dual-licensed: AGPL v3 (free self-hosted) and a commercial SaaS tier.
