Qui sommes-nous ?
eHealth Africa (eHA) conçoit et met en œuvre des solutions et des technologies basées sur les données afin d’améliorer les systèmes de santé pour et avec les communautés locales. La technologie d’eHA fonctionne dans des environnements à faible connectivité et utilise intelligemment les données pour guider la prise de décision des gouvernements locaux et des agences partenaires afin d’obtenir des résultats optimaux.

Systèmes de prestation de soins de santé
Systèmes de gestion des urgences de santé publique

Dans chacun de ces domaines programmatiques, nous travaillons en partenariat avec les gouvernements, les communautés, les organisations à but non lucratif et d’autres parties prenantes afin de générer des solutions holistiques, car nous pensons que chaque communauté mérite d’avoir accès aux types d’outils qui peuvent lui permettre de mener une vie plus saine.
