Why this situation?

Patients in Africa usually come too late to the doctor.

  • Conventional medecine is seen by families as unaffordable.
  • They tend to opt for auto-medication and traditional medicine that often prove inefficient.
  • In doing so, they increase the risk of critical complications and end-up paying much more for late emergency treatment than if they had gone to the doctor in the first place.
  • Public authorities have tried and built numerous Community Health Centers (CSCOM) to provide a minimum set of medical services to the population, these structures lack resources to supply preventive in addition to curative services.

idea>> Our funding idea: if diseases were detected and treated earlier on, mortality could be dramatically reduced with the need for risky and costly emergency treatment being decreased, and health spending for households would be lower.
