Release of Reporta Health Mobile App -
"Olusesan Makinde" <makindeo@viableknowledgemasters.com >: Oct 12 04:13PM +0100 Dear Colleagues,Greetings from Abuja, Nigeria.
I’d like to bring to your attention a Mobile App that we recently released and branded ‘Reporta Health’.
Reporta Health is a crowdsourcing mobile app which is available for download in Google Playstore. The app builds on the national list of health facilities to help the general public to identify unregistered health facilities and avoid quacks. It advocates that the general public use the app to report such unlisted facilities and geotag them. The information provided will then be passed on to the government for a regulatory visit. It also offers an opportunity to report poor quality service in health facilities and rate health facilities. Besides reporting, the app permits easy identification of health facilities that are around the user and for easy navigation to the health facility as well. Additionally, it offers information on the services that are within a location. Our vision is to use the app to drive quality healthcare with technology.
While the current release is specific to Nigeria, the App can be deployed to other countries as well once we have access to the government registered list of facilities for the country.
You can learn more about the app from our website https://reportahealth.org/
We welcome feedback on how to improve on the app and will also be interested in partnership with other countries that have established Master Facility Lists.
Thank you.
