Tackling Chronic Diseases in Northern Nigeria
In Northern Nigeria, over 5 million people live with diabetes or hypertension, yet many struggle with consistent care due to stockouts and distance from clinics. Missing doses isn't just inconvenient it's life-threatening.
Getwell changes this by putting control back in patients' hands through our app.
The Hidden Crisis of Chronic Care
* Unreliable supply: Essential meds like metformin or amlodipine often run out in rural pharmacies.
* Forgotten refills: Busy farmers or traders miss appointments amid daily demands.
* High costs: Frequent trips to urban centers drain limited incomes.
Getwell's Tools for Better Adherence
* Smart reminders: Custom alerts for meds, refills, and check-ups via SMS or app.
* Stock tracker: See real-time availability at 50+ partner pharmacies within 10km.
* Virtual check-ins: Track blood pressure logs and share with doctors remotely.
* Affordable bundles: Discounted 3-month supplies for chronic needs.
In our pilot, users reported 40% fewer missed doses and better blood sugar control. One farmer shared: "I no longer travel 2 hours for empty shelves—my family stays healthy."
