50% of hospitals in the sub-saharan region lack GPS to locate them, subsequently propelling two thirds of the 48 state to live outside WHO two hour band next to a hospital. In effect capability and capacity insights are primarily lost with the absence of location data failing to augment with the overall hospital data. Vague deficiency is created chronologically in hospitals, aggregating the figures to sub-standard treatment and incremental healthcare costs. In the long run, close to 50,000 and 1 million death occur, by and large, catastrophic expenditures emerge, pushing 1.5 million and 11 millions towards poverty lines.

Our user base is both hospital and patient. Our target market are individuals in the low end urban areas and informal settlement who account for 80% of the target. Majority lacking jobs and solely depending on casual jobs and farming.

The solution seeks to bridge public and private hospitals gap with easier patient acquisition underpinned by UHC anecdote of visiting any hospital without suffering financial burden. Pragmatically, this translates to ability to monitor patient increased uptake in hospital vis a vis increased access to care and/or addition of new hospital.  

Maternal subscriptions equate to 3-4 beneficiaries relative to paternal side a 3:1 ratio and who represent 3/4 of both inpatient and outpatient visits. Ultimately, we hope to increase number of patients visiting hospitals by 50% while having those similar patterns of potential and revealed accessibility in the next 8 months after launch of the product.

In our initial year, we are building a non- automated system to manually generate approvals for patient's request to visit hospital so to build on the data as better experience with customers. In the subsequent years we hope to pivot to a fully integrated platform while offering extensions on the platform to location based services like cab services for ambulance and affordable mobile plans that facilitate treatment. 

In our first phase , data collected from portfolio of health facilities will help understand the patient acquisition impact driven by shared costs. Data around specificity of treatment by a patient to visit certain hospital, number of patients uptake in an hospital per day/week/monthly and annual basis relative to hospital bed capacity and casualties resulting from location strained process alike.    

Our biggest challenge is to convince hospitals that our product is a plug-in system rather than a software for hospital management. Thus, the solution is not navigating into hospital change management but supports hospital delivery process.
