Our Story

The founder of the iDHS.HealthWise is a medical professional with several years of experience in UK practice. Having also spent many years involved in various non-digital healthcare projects and solutions in the various parts of sub-Saharan Africa, she realised that people are needlessly dying because they present with their health issues so late that at the point of diagnosis, the disease is so far progressed that their prognosis is poor. She found that the reasons given by patients for not presenting their symptoms early were often similar – lack of access, concerns about quality, lack of ready information and lack of trust in existing facilities were the most common. She started to advocate for better access to and improved quality in healthcare delivery. The realisation that digital technology could enhance and promote the ease and speed of access to quality healthcare led to the development & birth of the iDHS.HealthWise web based platform and Apps for mobile devices and computers.
She has an amiable vision to see iDHS.Healthwise and it's sister companies helping to deliver improved healthcare services across Africa and the developing world.
