Witegereza

There is the problem of people wasting time on queues while paying for healthcare services at the hospital in the majority of African countries which makes other of their activities compromised or even some are too sick that their health is in danger. we came up with a solution of an online platform used by doctors after consultation that could generate a code to the patient's phone and help them pay where they are with either their phone or visa cards. this will help to improve the quality of lives of patients as they would not spend/waste so much time at the hospital instead go back to their daily activities.

everyday almost 100-200 people attend public hospitals, and many of them have other works to do, so their day is cancelled there is no productivity for that day because they went to seek healthcare service and spent too much time on payment queues and now their day is compromised;for example a man who has to feed a family because he worked and he goes to the hospital and come back late that he can not go to work, that can affect his family as they would even sometimes sleep with no food, then their child in the morning will miss school because he has no energy for that, which end up being a complex thing. But in this case if he did not spend too much time at the hospital because of payment and he left for home earlier, he could have went and find work and these other problems might not occur.

we will be serving the people attending the public health institutions because they are the ones getting affected by this congestion and waste of time on queues at health facilities. everyone of us have gone to the public health institution and we understand how each one of people attending there, were complaining that most of the time wasted at the hospital was because of the paying queues which are long. with our solution they will be satisfied and they would not complain on when are they going home because they would be guaranteed to go home early without the queues, as they will be using either smartphones or even simple mobiles while paying and this would be successful as almost 80% of Rwandan population uses mobile phone.

Witegereza platform is going to handle long lines at hospitals and hospital pharmacies during payments and to help the patient to know the amount that he is going to pay, responding to the long queue at hospital which is time consuming to the patient and those looking after them as this queue is a barrier to the quick services. it will be a platform where healthcare providers using our platform will receive a patient and basing on the service the patient need the healthcare provider will use witegereza and fill in for the  patient and a code will be generated and sent to the patients phone, so that it would be easy for them to pay as We'll be using existing API for Payment Service Like Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Mobile money (For Telecom companies). we will be using mobile applications, ussd messaging,sms and mainly the platform, this will not need patients to get extra devices because no matter what type of phone they have they will be able to access the service.
