Telemedicine that degrades gracefully
Video, voice or chat with a verified doctor - and when the connection fails, as it will, the consultation becomes a scheduled phone call instead of a dead end.
MEDIIKX Care
Healthcare that reaches every patient, not just the ones near a hospital
A shared healthcare network for rural and underserved Nigeria. It works on a feature phone over USSD, keeps working when the network drops, and gets a woman in labour to a facility that already knows she is coming.

// The problem
Distance, not medicine, is what kills
The clinical knowledge to prevent most maternal deaths already exists in Nigeria. What is missing is a way to reach the woman who needs it, in time.
~1,000
Maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in Nigeria - among the highest rates in the world, and the country accounts for a large share of all maternal deaths globally.
WHO / UN MMEIG, Trends in Maternal Mortality
~60%
Of Nigerian births take place outside a health facility, with the share far higher in rural communities and in the North.

3.4m+
People displaced within Nigeria, many in camps where antenatal care and emergency transport are effectively absent.

Why the gap persists
- Distance. A woman may be hours from the nearest facility that can perform a caesarean, over roads that flood.
- Cost. Care that must be paid for on the day is care that is delayed until it is an emergency.
- Trust. Many women deliver with a traditional birth attendant they know, not a stranger at a clinic.
- Information. When something goes wrong at 2am, nobody knows who to call or where to go.
// What is inside
Eight things that have to work together
Each of these exists because of a specific way the current system fails.
USSD antenatal care
Registration, the full eight-contact WHO schedule, danger-sign reporting and an emergency alert, all from a dialled code with no internet.
Community health workers and TBAs
A risk-ranked caseload, home-visit records that work offline, and one button that escalates a danger sign into a real dispatch.
Emergency maternal transport
A single alert reaches the facility, a registered driver and the family. Every step is timestamped, so response time is a measured number.
One patient, one record
A network patient ID instead of a file at each hospital. Her history follows her, under her consent, with every access logged and visible to her.
A closed diagnostic loop
The doctor orders, the lab receives, the result is verified by a second person and lands on her record. Nobody carries paper between departments.
Medicine verification
Send a batch code by SMS or USSD and get a straight answer before taking the medicine - including an honest "not found".
A health wallet
Families save small amounts towards delivery, consultation or transport, in an account that can only be spent on care.
A real hospital system
Staff, departments, records, diagnostics and finance for each facility - with each hospital's internal operations strictly its own.
// For hospitals
Register your hospital
Join a network without giving up your independence
Your hospital runs its own operations on MEDIIKX Care - your staff, your departments, your finances, your data. What you gain is the network: patients arriving with a history you can read, doctors you can book, and a referral path in both directions.
Staff and departments
Front desk, records, nursing, physicians, pharmacy, lab, radiology, maternity, finance.
Shared authorised records
Read a patient's network record when she presents her MEDIIKX ID - and only then.
Doctor marketplace
List your clinicians for telemedicine and take bookings from anywhere in the country.
Diagnostics
Orders, results, verification and notification, tracked end to end.
Emergency board
See inbound maternal emergencies before the vehicle arrives.
Your data stays yours
No other hospital can see your staff, your finances or your internal operations.
// Trust and safety
Health data deserves more than a promise
Verified doctors only
Every doctor submits an MDCN registration number and is checked by a named administrator before appearing in the marketplace. No verification, no bookings.
Consent, separately
Consent to treatment and consent to research are different questions with different answers. Declining research changes nothing about your care, and you can change your mind.
You can see who looked
Every read of your record is logged, and you can read that log yourself - including which hospital, which person and when.
AI that assists, never decides
AI can suggest urgency and summarise a long record. It never diagnoses, it is always labelled, and emergency escalation never consults it.
Designed against the Nigeria Data Protection Act: data minimisation, purpose limitation, recorded consent, access control and retention limits.
