Harley Street Africa
Access to affordable healthcare across Africa is an issue
Currently, 50% of medication in circulation in Africa is fake
The World Health Organization (WHO), the UN body responsible for promoting international public health, puts Nigeria's doctor-to-population ratio at 0.3 per 1,000 persons, which is grossly inadequate.
Average age of mortality in Ng is 54-69 compared to the UK at 81 years.
2,000 qualified medical doctors leave Nigeria every year
The President of Nigeria has spent 200 days in UK having treatment since taking office, Medical Tourism costs Africa a staggering USD 40 billion per year.
Medical Doctors/GPs are not trained in Telemedicine
Medical Doctors/GPs are not trained in Better Diagnostics - reading scans etc
Its time to REFORM healthcare in Africa.
Harley Street Africa (HSA) a free to download telemedicine app will allow phone users access to an on line booking system to a book a telemedicine appt with a local medical doctor. All doctors will be HSA accredited, they will have been through our Telemedicine programme together with our Better Diagnostics programme.
Such doctors will have access to a global team of HSA accredited medical doctors to refer patients to - from the comfort of their own home. They can receive treatment/advice over the phone or arrange to see the doctor.
Patients will have 24/7 access to the world's finest doctors. Platinum patients will have 24/7 person to person Call Centre access so they will have help at the end of the phone any time of the day or night.
We will arrange appointment, medication delivery. Overseas appointments and all logistics. Patients will have access to doctors, medication, vitamins, products and medical insurance.
The solution will solve patient medical issues and poor diagnosis.
It will serve to boost the African economy rather than spending billions of USD leaving Africa to seek better medical treatment.
Doctors will stay in Africa rather than migrate
HSA Foundation will offer offer champion medical students scholarships to go through medical school.
People, over time, will live longer.
Doctors and patients will be better resourced, better educated and in much better health.
In 2021 we opened Africas first Regenerative Orthopaedics Clinic with a 2nd clinic due to open - already we are changing the face of healthcare - but the app will go much further.
Having worked in Nigeria for over 20 years - both founders know the market, know the issues and know the solutions. Dr Rogers is sought out my President's the world over - he understands medicine and is super qualified. His understanding of the African needs are key to the success of the service we provide.
As for myself, Katrina A Prentice, I have been serving Dr Rogers in his business for nearly 3 years and understand patient needs and believe our outstanding Medical Team can solve this gap in the market.
Even the very wealthy in Nigeria are being mis-diagnosed by their "specialist doctors" locally - they seek Dr Rogers for a 2nd opinion. 99% of the time, their scans have been poorly read.
Those with plenty of money cant get the care or medication they seek.
HSA will raise the standard of teaching and raise the standard of medical care.

We need the funds to build the outstanding app. We are open to partners to help build the software.
There are many add ons and back end parts to the business and we could partner with one or two of your current clients. e.g. finance/e-commerce app, pharmaceutical distributor
- Technology (e.g. software or hardware, web development/design, data analysis, etc.)
HSA will be providing cutting edge AI solutions to the healthcare market in Africa. Medical Doctors/GPs will have access to the world's greatest medical experts. This will help sharpen the saw, lift their skills and provide a peer to peer network they never would have had access to.
Patients will have quick solutions to their medical needs by booking telemedicine appointments but also having access through the app for on line webinars providing knowledge and information for generic issues. The public will be better resourced and better educated.
Katalytic change is inevitable! HSA will transform the provision medical healthcare by systemising patient records, booking appointments through the app and locating the best doctors to provide the best treatment path on offer.
