PharmAccess mobilizes public and private resources for the benefit of doctors and patients through clinical standards and quality improvements, loans for healthcare providers, health insurance, mHealth innovations and operational research.
In Kenya, a PharmAccess partnership pilot project with the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) is using digital solutions to develop an understanding of how the principles of value-based healthcare in low and middle-income countries can be applied.
The outcomes aim to reflect what matters most to patients by using mobile technology to gain an insight into their needs while documenting and empowering a patient’s treatment. Focusing on pregnancy and childbirth at Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital, the power and potential of digital technology through M-TIBA is being harnessed for large scale data collection. Ultimately we are demonstrating the new avenues of change open to the healthcare system – not just in the west but even in the most impoverished parts of Kenya.
