We are in the health industry!
“Up to five billion people will still lack access to health care in 2030 – the target year world leaders have set for achieving universal health coverage. Most of the people who do not have access to health care are poor and disadvantaged. “

“If we are serious about achieving universal health coverage and improving the lives of people, we really need to focus on primary health care. This means providing essential health services, such as immunizations, antenatal care and healthy lifestyle counseling as close as possible to where people live – and ensuring that users do not have to. not to pay for the care themselves”

FAQ Patients
Our patients have registered on our application in order to be able to benefit from care to which they would not have access due to lack of means. You have access to their identity, to the healthcare establishment to which they are affiliated, to the succinct pathology with which they are afflicted and at the cost of medical action. Some patients requiring urgent and expensive intervention have been registered by the doctors themselves in order to collect the amount necessary for their recovery.
They need you
Each year, more than 13 million children under the age of five die from diseases that could have been prevented or cured. In many countries, people do not have social security coverage. In other emerging countries, existing social security coverage is not accessible to everyone. These people cannot access health care, which is still beyond their means. Some people have to save for years before they can see a doctor or specialist. Currently, more than half of the world’s population does not have access to essential medicines for their health and survival due to high prices. By 2030, around 5 billion people will not have access to health care.
According to the WHO, one in ten medicines worldwide is either counterfeit or expired. For some continents such as Africa, this figure rises to 7 out of 10. “According to the WHO, at least 100,000 people die each year in Africa from fake drugs.” “Counterfeit drug activity is at the top of the illicit traffic”, explains Geoffroy Bessaud, director of anti-counterfeiting coordination for the French pharmaceutical group Sanofi. “It’s even more than trafficking cannabis,” according to the World Economic Forum. Counterfeits cause a lot of deaths, coupled with enormous financial loss for the legal health systems of these countries.
According to the World Bank: “Poverty remains very widespread in the DRC: the country ranks third in the world for the number of poor people and the situation has worsened further following the COVID-19 pandemic. It is estimated that 73% of its population, or 60 million people, lived on less than $ 1.90 per day in 2018 (a level set as the international poverty line). Thus, nearly one in six people living in extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa lives in the DRC. ”
According to the UNDP (United Nations Development Program) “A person lives in general poverty if they do not have sufficient income to meet their basic non-food needs – such as clothing, energy and shelter – and food. “. “Human poverty”, on the other hand, is presented as the “lack of basic human capacities: illiteracy, malnutrition, reduced longevity, poor maternal health, preventable disease”

As a support person, you have already funded a person’s care. A notification arrives letting you know it needs funding again. It will certainly happen. Either because you have financed a general practitioner consultation and the medical follow-up requires treatment involving several check-ups, or the patient needs to see a specialist, or the patient who has already recovered is sick again. It is your goodwill to continue to take care of this patient. To reassure you, it is not possible to make a personal profit using our system because the money used is only directed to certified healthcare facilities and not to the patient.
