We proved inclusive, sustainable healthcare access to vulnerable, remote groups in conflict-affected countries through a novel Telehealth service.

The Problem

Sudan's health system is on the brink of collapse following years of conflict, with millions lacking healthcare access. Globally, healthcare inequalities mirror and exacerbate social, racial, gendered, and economic inequities and shape the daily realities of two billion people who live in conflict zones.

The Solution

Speetar is a digital health ecosystem that provides accessible, affordable, quality healthcare in adverse conditions and creates centralized health data to protect increasingly mobile populations. Speetar helps limit exposure and provide quality care at a lower cost both on the patients' end and at the point of care, thereby alleviating some of the strain health systems face in conflict-affected areas in an innovative way. The pilot implementation in Libya showed tremendous success with Speetar and the solution's next goal is to implement in Sudan as it has a similar country profile, pronounced need, and regional proximity.

Stats

724,830 unique individuals have engaged with Speetar's digital health services, including remote consultations, access to digital health records, and participation in treatment and referral programs.

Speetar helps limit exposure and provide quality care at a lower cost both on the patients' end and at the point of care, thereby alleviating some of the strain health systems face in conflict-affected areas in an innovative way.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Speetar aims to serve the 9.2 million most underserved people in Sudan who urgently need healthcare, particularly those in remote, conflict-affected, and displacement settings. Sudan faces severe healthcare shortages, with major disparities in access to doctors and functioning facilities, especially in Darfur. Economic collapse, conflict, rising healthcare costs, and widespread displacement have forced many families to delay or forgo treatment, while preventive and specialized care remain largely inaccessible. Our platform connects vulnerable communities with quality healthcare without requiring dangerous and expensive travel. The solution improves triaging, reduces unnecessary referrals, streamlines provider workflows, and supports continuity of care during crises. Building on successful implementation in Libya during COVID-19, Speetar strengthens healthcare access, efficiency, and coordination for both patients and providers. It particularly benefits women, displaced populations, and elderly communities by improving access to reproductive health, antenatal care, follow-up services, and specialized consultations while supporting long-term, equitable healthcare infrastructure in underserved regions.
