Our vision is to transform healthcare delivery in Ghana and across the African region through technology, and actively promote the Sustainable Development Goal 3 agenda. Bisa aspires to change the face of Ghana's healthcare reporting system in the upcoming years by promoting digital disease reporting and surveillance systems, and seeks to pioneer telemedicine in Africa on two major fronts; firstly in providing patients access to doctors through the use of technology, and secondly in information dissemination regarding disease prevention and control.
The Bisa Health Application was created as a response to a gap in Ghana’s healthcare system. Our goal is to use modern technology to address disparities in access to healthcare, by enabling patients to obtain medical help easily and affordably. The app provides an interactive platform where patients have the access to qualified doctors for health consultations from the comfort of their homes, the access to online diagnoses and prescriptions, and essential health information through a mobile app.
Bisa has answered over 42,000 patient inquiries in the last three years and currently has 10,540 active users who can communicate with medical practitioners without having to physically meet with them. Its health information sharing platform has allowed the general public to receive health education, as well as persons living with HIV/AIDS to easily access counselling, treatment for STDs, and HIV-related illnesses, all without discrimination or stigma. BISA has also played an important part in the management of the Covid-19 pandemic in Ghana, through it’s platform for following up on Covid-19 patients and providing psychological assistance to survivors and health workers.
