This is a show & tell journal of Healthcare Access enabling projects in Sub Saharan Africa since 2015 using a research driven digital framework called INSHIRA. The projects documented here are a result of the tireless donation of expertise and time by professionals who's goal is to digitally enable and close the healthcare gap in access to care for cancer patients.
The Inshira framework(a not-for-profit Innovation) was born co-creating digital solutions for Primary RESEARCH and ACCESS focused Patient centric Public-Private Partnerships.
Inshira has so far been co-created and deployed for high prevalence diseases such as Hepatitis and Cancer treatments in Sub Saharan Africa.
