We believe every individual should be empowered to access and hold their health information,
and easily share it with the health organizations they trust to inform the care they receive, and unlock
the potential of next generation digital health services.

Without digital disruption, Africa's health care can not live up to its potential. Due to limited internet connectivity and electricity, the health system has remained rooted inphysical paper files that are easily lost or misused. Failure to integrate information technology innovations, population growth, and rising financial disparities arecompounding the challenges with healthcare accessibility and disproportionately hurting young girls.Today’s latest health technology innovations can fundamentally transform Africa’s health care. Through advanced diagnostic devices, predictive analytics, AI diagnostics,wearable technology, telehealth and remote monitoring, we can address the desperate lack of basic primary care services in rural areas.Our vision is dependent on one key ingredient: the availability of digital health data to care providers.

TCP Africa is based in Kigali, Rwanda, with staff present across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. Through our Person-Centered Model, we aim to create digitaldata, provide it to the patient, and connect it to health centers and digital services so that comprehensive continuity of care can be provided.By combining a personal profile and health records in one place, we create a standardized approach that reduces friction and cost while producing more accurate results.By giving people digital access to their own health information, we enable individuals to share their data with their health providers such as via smartphone or using QRcodes printed on paper. Those health providers can then use that information to inform the care they provide. This complementary approach is simpler, quicker, andlower-cost to implement than centralized or enterprise-centered models. Since it is rooted in individual control and consent, it is also more consistent with data privacyprinciples.As appointed by the Africa CDC, TCP and the Mastercard Foundation are co-chairing an Africa CDC flagship initiative for digitizing primary care across Africa, leadingalongside 30 other champion organizations.
Primary care is a universal necessity. The digital health data transformation in Africa will enable:
