The Problem

Across South Africa, 30% of people have undiagnosed hypertension, 50% have undiagnosed diabetes, 25% are unaware of their HIV status, and 23% are unaware they have tuberculosis (TB).

The Solution

This Clinitouch-enabled solution addressed gaps in community-based screening and early detection across low-income communities in Gauteng province. Community Health Promotion Officers and local health clinics were equipped with Clinitouch to deliver integrated screening and referrals for diabetes, hypertension, HIV, and TB. 

Using the Clinitouch platform, Community Health Promotion Officers were able to conduct screenings and detect those with risk of chronic and infectious diseases earlier. The platform supported timely referrals to clinics and healthcare services, helping strengthen continuity of care and improve access to diagnosis and treatment. 

 

Our Impact
