Why It Matters

Across Guinea and Senegal, non-communicable diseases cause more than 40% of deaths — and fewer than 1 in 10 people have regular access to a doctor.

Why the Gap Persists

Most community health programmes were built for childhood illness — malaria, diarrhoea, vaccination. Chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes require something different: repeat contact, ongoing monitoring, and follow-up over years, not a single visit. That's where most programmes stop.

40%+

Chronic disease is now the leading cause of death in both countries we serve — and the systems to detect it reach almost no one.

of deaths in both Guinea and Senegal are caused by non-communicable diseases.

The Problem in Numbers

28%

of Senegalese adults are hypertensive but only 1 in 10 are aware

4%

of adults in Senegal have diabetes, follow-up remains very limited.

86%

of Senegalese adults are physically inactive

<1 in 10

people across both countries have regular access to a doctor

These are not statistics about faraway problems. In communities like Ouré-Kaba in Guinea and Khombole in Senegal, they are the reality every family lives. Clinic+O exists to change what's possible.

Built Here, Proven Here

Our model was designed in West Africa, with West African governments, for West African communities. We don't import or adapt Northern models, we build from the ground up.

  • We specialize in hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease — the conditions responsible for 40%+ of deaths in both Guinea and Senegal — at the community level where most programs stop.

  • At $1 per visit, we've designed for the communities we serve, not for donors. Our blended financing model combines co-payments, government cost-sharing, and philanthropy.

  • We operate inside public health systems in Guinea and Senegal, working with government — not around it.

  • In 2026, we're integrating AI-supported clinical decision tools and WhatsApp-based patient engagement into our platform — making our CHWs more effective than ever.

Our Theory of Change

Responsible technology

Responsible technology

We design safe, ethical digital tools built for the realities of low-resource settings. Our technology strengthens — not replaces — the human relationships that make primary care work.

Enabling training

Enabling training

We equip Community Health Workers with the knowledge and digital skills they need to screen, diagnose, and support patients confidently. Training ensures quality care reaches every household.

Local empowerment

Local empowerment

We partner with local health systems, CHWs, and community leaders so they can drive solutions themselves. Our role is to strengthen capacity, not create parallel structures.

Data-driven action

Data-driven action

We transform frontline data into actionable insights that improve patient outcomes, guide clinical decisions, and help governments allocate resources more effectively.
