Klarah Launches Sponsorship Initiative to Improve Healthcare in Cameroon

Buea, Cameroon – Klarah, a healthtech startup in Cameroon, today announced the launch of a new sponsorship initiative aimed at improving healthcare in the country. The initiative, made possible by a generous donation from a Cameroonian living in the UK who has chosen to remain anonymous, will provide 4 sponsorships for a monthly home healthcare visit for a year each.

“Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, and this initiative is just one step towards making that a reality,” said Dr Innocentia Kwalar Toh, Founder, and CEO of Klarah.

“The 4 lucky recipients of these sponsorships will receive a monthly home healthcare visit from a qualified nurse, providing them with the care and attention they deserve in the comfort of their own home.”

The sponsorship initiative is a testament to the power of the diaspora in making a difference in the lives of those back home. The donation is a shining example of the impact that can be made through the generosity of the diaspora and highlights the importance of giving back to one’s home country. Klarah provides digital solutions that enable quality home healthcare, and the company is proud to be a part of this initiative. 

“We are grateful for this individual’s generosity and the support of the diaspora in improving the healthcare situation in Cameroon,” said Dr Kwalar Toh. “This act of kindness is a reminder of the power of giving, and the positive impact that can be made when we come together to make a difference.”

HACK THE GAPS – DIGITAL.PURPOSE DRIVEN. GLOBAL. THE WSA NOMINEES OF 2022

KLARAH SELECTED AS BEST NATIONAL DIGITAL SOLUTION FOR INTERNATIONAL AWARD IN THE CATEGORY HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

BUEA/Salzburg, 23rd September 2022

Smart content combined with optimized utilization of state-of-the-art technology offers immense opportunities to close global and local divides and the achievement of the UN SDGs. KLARAH was nominated as the best national digital solution for CAMEROON for the international WSA (World Summit Awards), awarding yearly digital innovation with an impact on society.  With this nomination in the Category HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, KLARAH qualifies for evaluation by the WSA Jury 2022 among over 350 international nominations – a global diameter of digital innovation, from Canada to Indonesia, from Finland to Mozambique. 

The WSA nominees 2022 show the richness, diversity, future, and innovation of digital solutions on a global scale and prove how digital technology can improve society on each corner of the world.

KLARAH was nominated as the best national digital solution for CAMEROON for the international WSA.

KLARAH provides mobile apps and intuitive dashboards to improve access to healthcare by matching patients to nurses based on patient need, carer experience and their proximity to each other. By leveraging Africa’s illustrious diaspora as initial sponsors for healthcare financing, KLARAH is enabling quality home healthcare in Cameroon with its eyes set on other African countries in the near future.

The WSA 2022 nominees will be evaluated based on seven fundamental criteria: Content, Functionality, Design, Technology, Innovation, Impact and Value. 

“WSA combines two major perspectives in its initiative – first the commitment on the UN SDGs, and how to use ICTs to development.  And second the development of a global knowledge society. The UN SDGs must be our measurement – in terms of what to look at and where to look. Today we are living in a completely different environment – through the mobile revolution, through the emergence of the algorithmic age – data has become a capital as much as labour, land money and machinery. Hence, it is more important than ever to evaluate what is excellent content that really offers solutions and impact. Qualitative, local content has become the key and permanent issue. WSA presents innovation that uses ICT for social connectivity. To hack the global gaps.“ WSA Chairman Peter A. Bruck.

The WSA nominees are selected carefully and highly competitive by the WSA National Experts from more than 184 UN member states. The WSA National Experts nominate up to eight projects for each country – one for every WSA category. 

A nomination to the WSA hence is already an award in itself – the qualification to compete and compare on an international level and being the best practice in Health and Well-being nationally.
