What specific problem are you solving?
Globally, over half of the world’s population lacks access to comprehensive health services, and two billion people face financial hardship due to out-of-pocket healthcare costs. In Southeast Nigeria, millions in underserved communities struggle with limited healthcare infrastructure, where long distances to clinics, high costs, and a shortage of qualified professionals leave residents vulnerable to chronic illnesses, maternal and child health challenges, and preventable diseases. Factors contributing to these problems include insufficient local healthcare facilities, inadequate workforce capacity, and financial barriers that force individuals to delay or forego essential care. Our solution tackles these issues by leveraging telemedicine, AI-driven diagnostics, and proactive community health outreach to deliver remote consultations and preventive services directly to patients’ doorsteps. This approach not only reduces travel and treatment costs but also facilitates early disease detection and timely interventions. In our target regions alone, over 50 million people are affected by these systemic healthcare gaps—a microcosm of a global crisis impacting billions. By addressing these interconnected factors, we aim to improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and build resilient, scalable local health systems that transform care delivery for vulnerable populations.
What is your solution?
PMC360 is a technology-driven healthcare solution that brings affordable, high-quality medical care directly to underserved communities in Southeast Nigeria. It works by combining a user-friendly telemedicine platform with advanced digital tools. Patients use their mobile phones or computers to access virtual consultations with qualified healthcare professionals, reducing the need for long, expensive trips to distant clinics. Our platform leverages artificial intelligence to analyze patient symptoms and assist in accurate, personalized diagnostics. It also integrates electronic medical records through our partnership with Hikma Health, enabling doctors to review patient histories and coordinate ongoing care seamlessly. In addition to digital consultations, PMC360 organizes community health outreaches to deliver essential services like immunizations, health screenings, and preventive care education directly to local neighborhoods. This comprehensive approach not only improves access to medical care and early detection of health issues but also helps lower overall healthcare costs for vulnerable populations, ultimately fostering better health outcomes across the region.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Our solution directly serves vulnerable populations in Southeast Nigeria, including the elderly, busy professionals, individuals with disabilities, chronically ill patients, and other marginalized groups who face significant barriers to healthcare access. These individuals are often underserved due to a lack of local healthcare facilities, high transportation costs, and financial constraints that prevent them from seeking timely medical attention. As a result, many experience delayed diagnoses, untreated conditions, and a general decline in health outcomes.
PMC360 addresses these needs by leveraging a robust telemedicine platform that enables remote consultations with qualified healthcare professionals. This eliminates the need for long, costly journeys to distant clinics. Our solution also incorporates AI-powered diagnostics and integrated electronic medical records, ensuring personalized and accurate care. Additionally, our community health outreach programs bring essential services like immunizations, health screenings, and health education directly to local communities. By combining these digital and community-based approaches, we aim to significantly improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and empower individuals to manage their health proactively, ultimately transforming lives and strengthening the local healthcare ecosystem.
