Too many children die of benign diseases

Child mortality is a prevalent problem in Africa where, in most countries, more than 100 children out of a thousand die before their first birthday. In Mali where our project started, 1 child out of 5 does not reach the age of 5.

This is not due to major epidemics but, in 70 % of cases, to diseases that can very easily be treated if detected early enough. It’s an aberration as affordable treatment and staff qualified to treat those diseases are available locally.

A multiplier of medical radius

Pesinet uses mobile technologies and the proximity work of health agents from the communities served to reach families where they live and work and drive demand for early-treatment.

The service encourages families to get to the doctor as soon as the first symptoms occur and facilitate access to affordable care by partnering with existing community-based public healthcare structures.

Innovative use of mobile and internet technologies

Pesinet’s service leverages the quality GSM network in Africa and open-source software to record and transfer information and then reduce the amount of time a doctor needs to access and analyze it.

A mobile application has been developed to collect and transfer data on the ground by Pesinet’s agents. An online application linked to a database allows for remote monitoring of health data by the local doctor, activity management and tracking of key impact indicators.
