Yango, the international ride-hailing service, has entered two partnerships aimed at improving both digital payments and healthcare access for its commuters and partner drivers in Ethiopia. In collaboration with Awash Bank, one of the country's leading financial institutions, Yango will promote digital payment adoption. As part of the initiative, Awash Bank employees and customers will receive a 15pc discount on their first three Yango rides. Additionally, Yango has signed a memorandum of understanding with Amakari Doctors, a telemedicine provider, to enhance healthcare services for its drivers. Amakari Doctors will offer discounted medical services and complimentary telemedicine consultations to drivers. Yango, headquartered in Dubai, started Ethiopian operations last year in October and claims to have 600,000 registered drivers globally.
