What MedAccess does<\/h2>\n

MedAccess is the digital health division of SHINE. Its platform lists more than 1,000 hospitals, laboratories and pharmacies. A patient can find a facility or a specialist, book an appointment or a home visit, and pay by mobile money, bank transfer or card. The directory on the website is open to everyone. However, appointments and messaging live in the MedAccess User App, and doctors use the MedAccess Doctor App.<\/p>\n

Why MedAccess exists<\/h2>\n

Three barriers keep people from treatment in Cameroon: finding the right facility, knowing whether a specialist is available, and paying for care. MedAccess addresses all three in one place. Moreover, because it is part of SHINE, what the platform learns becomes a research question for Sintieh Research Academy.<\/p>\n

Where MedAccess stands today<\/h2>\n

The platform is in a pilot in the South West Region. The Android apps are in beta. You install them from the MedAccess beta page<\/a>, and an iOS version is planned. Meanwhile, feedback from beta users decides what we fix and build next. Read the latest programme notes<\/a> for progress.<\/p>\n

MedAccess for facilities and partners<\/h2>\n

Hospitals, laboratories and pharmacies can list themselves free of charge. Likewise, doctors can join as providers at medaccess.shineltd.org. Health authorities, insurers and companies should use the partnership enquiry form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A note on our standards<\/h2>\n

First, every study has a written protocol and ethical approval before data collection. Second, we report results to the partner as well as to a journal. Third, testimonials appear only with the person’s consent. As a result, partners can rely on what SHINE publishes, and readers can check every claim against its source.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
