What our users say
"Communication has improved vastly because we no longer have to rely on a switchboard that doesn’t know who’s on call. Also, people know where to find us, ask questions, send us referrals that are detailed enough that we can ask questions back, and there’s a phone number that we can call if we need someone else’s feedback for the patient, or more information, or transfer a patient back, or even a different patient."

Dr Helga Nauhaus
South Africa
"In the past, we would have to go to our doctor, our doctor would then have to refer the patient to the hospital, and then vice versa, and that always took long.
"Now, as a PN, we can just do it straight from our phones. All we need is network, and then we can discuss every patient that we have with the doctor, along with the complaint that they come forward with. The doctor will tell us the plan that they have, and then they’ll either issue a date or give us a plan that we can carry out with the patient. It’s been so, so helpful."

Paradis Munyemana
South Africa
“I find it very convenient and interesting to use, since we don't have a doctor on a daily basis. As an independent nurse working at the clinic, it's easy to refer or communicate with the doctor at the hospital, and the response is always prompt."

Sr Abigail Matlola
South Africa
“Vula has been a game changer for managing our psychiatric referrals… great for my doctors’ mental health!
But the detailed stats are the cherry on the top – we can monitor, manage, and improve our service based on regular and accurate data! Thank you, Team Vula.

“I am absolutely in love with the Vula app. My patient thyroid cancer was diagnosed and operated on all within a space of 3 months.“

Dr I Domingo
South Africa
"Vula is an awesome app, to be honest. I am very happy with it, because you can go back to your old files and check. Even when the doctor archives the file, you can still see what is happening. I’m also encouraging my colleagues to use it."

Sr Neo Nakedi
South Africa
“As a palliative care coordinator at a level 2 hospital, I regularly had to coordinate referrals with physicians and palliative care nurses across different facilities. Vula made that process much easier. I could refer patients to the appropriate healthcare professional, even across provinces, and include a detailed history of the patient, what had already been done, and relevant investigations such as X-rays and blood results. Another feature I found particularly useful was being able to print the Vula referral and include it in the patient’s clinical notes to accompany them to the receiving facility.
For me, Vula provides a convenient and structured way of communicating and coordinating patient referrals, particularly when patients need to move between different levels of care.”

RN Jurgen Phillips
South Africa
“Vula makes it easy and accessible to consult doctors from all disciplines. This ensures that patients are reviewed for all their pathologies even if it is not their presenting complaint.”

Dr A K M Nowshad
South Africa
"I would like to commend your team for the excellent work you have done with the Vula app. It has genuinely transformed and simplified the referral process. Communication between hospitals and departments has become significantly more efficient, organized, and accountable because of the platform. It has become an indispensable tool in our daily workflow."

Dr Mondli Mthethwa

“Vula is a real game changer for promoting public-private mix.”

Jody Boffa

"A real lifesaver app. I absolutely love it."

Dr Willem Smith
South Africa
"It allows asynchronous communication between health care providers at different levels of care which improves the type of feedback given…"

Caledon team

“…Vula has revolutionized the way our department operates and receives referrals. Its interface is user-friendly, and its collaboration features are seamless. The app's high-quality images and record-keeping capabilities have raised our patient care to new levels.
