AfriHealth Sentinel

Real-Time Disease Surveillance for West Africa

Mobile-first platform transforming outbreak detection across Nigeria and West Africa. Detecting diseases 70% faster, saving lives through technology.

The Challenge

Disease outbreaks in West Africa kill thousands because they're detected too late

Late Detection

Outbreaks detected 3-4 weeks after they start. Traditional systems miss 70% of cases in rural areas.

Fragmented Systems

No real-time surveillance. Paper-based reporting. Limited connectivity. Poor data sharing between states.

Preventable Deaths

Lassa fever, meningitis, cholera outbreaks kill thousands annually due to delayed response.

Our Solution: AfriHealth Sentinel

Mobile-First Design

17,000 community health workers report cases directly from their smartphones. No paper forms. No data clerks. No delays.
