Ivory Coast Public-Private MoU for access to Standard of Care mainly focused on Oncology

Further to the Breast Cancer Patient journey research and publication, the findings were established that the only way to ensure access to standard of care for Cancer patients was via a public-private MoU wherein the patients get end to end treatment subsidized and paid for by the ministry of health in Ivory Coast.

Implementation of such an MoU required governance around patient onboarding, diagnostics and vetting , data capture of all phases of the treatment, automated demand planning of the drug supply for multiple types of Cancers in all hospitals engaged in the MoU, patient treatment weekly schedule for physicians to plan, patient follow up by a NGO, automation of treatment protocol for multiple types of Cancers in the platform and geocoding the data to visually see how far the patients are traveling to their respective hospitals (this helps referrals to the most appropriate Centre for treatment).

Impact of Inshira:

The project started in 2020 and by 2023, there were over 1500 different cancer patients who were being managed in the Inshira platform. However it is observed that majority of the patients belong to Breast Cancer. Efforts are being made to improve the way data is collected including capturing all other oncology patients in the platform whether covered by MoU or not.

Inshira was awarded the digital innovation certificate by the national cancer institute of Ivory Coast.
