Equipped with essential health tools, the mobile clinic brings medical care directly to rural communities, reducing the need for long journeys to healthcare facilities, a significant step towards achieving “Universal Health Coverage 2030.” This is particularly crucial for expectant mothers, who can now receive timely care during labor, significantly reducing mortality rates. Leveraging technology further, Dr. Christopher’s telemedicine app connects patients with medical professionals, ensuring accessible, affordable, and quality medical care. Through YIC’s support, including peer learning sessions, workshops, and technical training. Christopher refined his idea and showcased it at the Ashanti Region Grand Pitch and Demo Day.
