Your Digital Firstaid Box is Ready

Finally, finally HelpYourself app is ready!

HelpYourself (HY) app is one of an array of life-saving solutions designed by Maealth Inc.; a Cameroon registered social enterprise using Information Technology to improve the quality of health information, strengthen national health systems and ensure accessible, high-quality health care for all Cameroonians through software services that have been proven to save lives and improve/develop healthcare systems or structures.

"We're driven by a desire to make sustainable solutions that positively impact the lives of many and to leave our healthcare sector a better place than we found it"- Maealth.

HelpYourself is built in response to some of the health crisis Cameroonians and commonly developing nations face. The app was built based on the following background; 

1. 140,000 people in a developed world like the UK, die each year in situations where first aid could have helped save their lives. What more of our gradually emerging nation Cameroon, with a mediocre health care system?
2. Natural medicines are helping more and more people that are suffering from illnesses that are totally preventable or costly to treat. Because of the high costs involved with manufacturing modern medicines, many people living in developing nations, Cameroon etc simply do not have the the financial resources to pay for them. Making available these information on how to use these natural solutions is the least we could do.
3. Poor access to information on prevention practices and healthy lifestyles for mothers thus contributing to the high infant mortality rates in Cameroon; 53.43 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2015.
4. Low doctor per patient ratios: 1:10,000 urban areas and 1:50,000 in rural areas
5. Period hits once a month; but the exact day they arrive, the severity of cramps, flow and mood swings aren't quite so reliable. It is no wonder, then, that our period tracker feature will be of absolute importance to young girls.
6.  Easily search for nearby hospitals and their emergency telephone contact in case of emergencies
