Mobiklinic Uganda
- Uganda
1. We thirst for knowledge which we believe we shall acquire from the elevate coaching and network, to ensure expansion of our health access solution in Uganda and East Africa. It should be noted that 77% of Ugandans and 70% of east-Africans live in last mile areas where they struggle to access health care. our solution ably solves this problem and elevate funding will enable us impact these millions of people with affordable home-based health care within their communities.
2. We empower community health systems. Our theory of change lies in empowered community health systems using a fusion of physical and digital means. For instance, we shall be able to train and deploy more community health providers . These become our "barefoot soldiers" in the communities and first respondents to health emergencies and health needs in the communities.
3. The funding shall enable us improve our core innovation i.e digital safety net. We create a backup plan/app for community-health-providers(CHPs) in case they are faced with a condition they can not handle to communicate with senior medics and get guided.it also offers an integrated referral system and communication to ambulances. We'll introduce biometrics to ease transmission of patient data in referrals.
I am a young lawyer and innovator passionate about health equity and social justice. I founded Mobiklinic whose vision is to ease and revolutionize access to health care , especially last mile health-care delivery in Africa using technology to empower community health systems.
Mobiklinic's purpose is to ease access to health care for the many people living in rural/ last mile areas of Uganda, east Africa and Africa. It should be known that over 500 million people in sub-saharan Africa live in last mile areas and these greatly suffer with access to health care. Health centers are far and have few or no health workers. With the current health systems in rural areas, many people die waiting for health care, pregnant women die giving birth in hands of traditional birth attendants. The solution we provide is one that solves all these cocktail of health care access problems.
Mobiklinic comprises of a team of well experienced professionals administrators; managers, analysts, product developers, investment strategists, doctors and nurses all of whom are working towards our mission that is to improve health care and health service through decentralizing and democratizing health care access( as shown in our video)
According to the World Economic Forum report 2019, Half of the world’s population lack access to health-care. Africa has over 500 million of these people, many are from last mile areas. In Uganda, 77% of the population live in last mile areas. The few doctors prefer to work in urban areas. In Uganda, the doctor to patient-ratio is 1:21000 in contrast with the recommended ratio of 1:1000. Health centers are far and few averagely, one must travel about 12 to 20 km to the government health center. Almost no private facilities seek entry into rural areas since the population there is vulnerable poor. Therefore, the rural people as a result, resort to local and traditional health care systems which is a big health risk.
Mobiklinic’s theory of change is that community members partake in health care together with our nurses, these are called community health providers
(CHPs). CHPs are trained to offer door to door services in the community and when faced with a complex challenge, we innovated an android application that they use to access senior medics for guidance thus creating a digital safety net. Our application offers a digital safety net, integrated system
of referral and enables scalable knowledge transfer
Our theory of change is new world over; we leverage/use digital safety net as a means of improving last mile health-care delivery. With this we empower and democratize health care allover.
Our value proposition is efficient and convenient yet affordable to the consumers. This makes us more customer centric than our competitors. We go with the service into the field, and we reach our clients than letting the clients/patients move to find us. Due to Covid-19, public transport was banned, and now even though it is resumed the cost of transportation is high the sick in rural areas cannot access health centers easily the more yet access to health care for more vulnerable patients for example those with compromised immune system and pregnant mothers must be maintained hence making the Mobiklinic way of operation more Unique as it would solve the problem of access to health care services. our mode of operation makes us more of collaborators than competitors. Convenience matters to our clients and this is exactly what we are offering them! This is unprecedented in our society.
Primarily; we train and empower community health providers thus empowering community health systems. we don't stop at that; we go further to give them a digital safety net that eases their provision of services to thousands of people in last mile areas and villages.
The training includes communication skills, first aid, Triage and so many other medical skills so that they are able to assess the community populations with the best possible quality service playing a role in improving the health outcomes.
Procurement of Android Tablets that will be used by the Community health providers for creation of the digital safety net for the patients. CHPs consult medical experts on how to handle more complicated scenarios.
Upgrade of the Android Application so that it can accommodate features that will ensure data Safety, biometrics and Versions that can be accommodated on any form of operating system and so many more upgrades all of which will make project implementation more efficient.
Travel to the last mile areas this is the pivot of our strategy because through it we will be able to deliver services to the communities. Procurement of Medical supplies that are used and service delivery.
