A more in depth look at our company history.
Medel Healthcare was established in 2019 by Thomas Browne, a visionary IT expert renowned for developing innovative software solutions across various industries.
Driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact on public health in Ireland, Thomas founded Medel Healthcare to combine his expertise in software with healthcare diagnostics, focusing on preventive health.
The aim was to tackle Ireland’s three leading health challenges—heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes—by empowering people to proactively monitor their health and well-being.
Joining him as a founding partner was Fergal O’Gara, a heart attack survivor dedicated to improving health outcomes for others.
Together, they shaped Medel Healthcare’s mission, which initially centered on Health Screening, Occupational Health, and Blood Testing. Medel’s goal was to make it easier for individuals to access their health results and communicate with healthcare professionals, creating a smoother and more transparent healthcare experience for all.
In 2020, Medel Healthcare became one of Ireland’s most trusted and leading COVID-19 testing providers, establishing over 20 pop-up clinics nationwide to support communities during the pandemic.
One of their most notable efforts was the pop-up clinic at Donegal Airport, which ran for nearly two years and provided crucial testing services to residents and travellers.
Medel also played an essential role in facilitating COVID-19 testing for the film, sports, and corporate sectors, ensuring safe operations during challenging times.
Our commitment to supporting Ireland’s public health needs during the pandemic underscored our dedication to improving healthcare accessibility and quality, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in the fight against COVID-19.
From 2020 to 2023, Medel Healthcare expanded our services by providing Occupational Health support to corporate companies across Ireland, helping employers safeguard the health and well-being of their workforce.
Additionally, we introduced an innovative pop-up health screening service, making comprehensive health checks more accessible to the public.
These pop-up screenings offered a convenient and efficient way for individuals to monitor their health, particularly in corporate and community settings.
This approach aligned with Medel’s mission to bring preventive healthcare closer to people, enhancing early detection and fostering a proactive health culture across Ireland.

Medel Healthcare recently partnered with Dooctor.ie to broaden the scope of accessible healthcare services throughout Ireland.
This collaboration introduces a revolutionary approach to urgent care, offering people the flexibility to see a doctor without an appointment, seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Through Dooctor.ie, patients can access immediate care for non-emergency medical concerns, such as flu symptoms, minor injuries, skin issues, and prescriptions, without the long wait times typically associated with urgent care services. In 2024, this partnership further expanded to provide online doctor consultations, giving people even greater convenience to connect with healthcare professionals from their own homes.
Dooctor.ie’s services complement Medel Healthcare’s mission to improve accessibility, preventive care, and overall patient experience, transforming how individuals receive urgent medical attention in Ireland.
Medel Healthcare has also partnered with Randox Health, a renowned lab, to enhance the efficiency and detail of their blood testing services. Through this partnership, Medel can offer quicker, more comprehensive blood reports, giving patients and healthcare providers timely insights into key health indicators.
With over 15 locations across Ireland, Medel makes clinical blood testing accessible to communities nationwide, allowing people to take a proactive approach to their health and access precise results without the usual delays. This collaboration with Randox Health underscores Medel’s commitment to leading advancements in preventive health and diagnostics for better patient outcomes.
