eHealth Africa designs and implements data-driven solutions
and technologies to improve health systems for and with local communities.
eHA’s technology works in low connectivity settings, and smartly uses data to
drive decision-making by local governments and partner agencies to get
optimum
results. We partner with governments, communities, non-profits and other
stakeholders to generate holistic solutions, because we believe that every
community deserves access to the types of tools that can enable them to lead
healthier lives.
eHA is a proud recipient of the 1st annual #ElasticCause
Awards. By using #ElasticStack, eHA allowed health care responders to locate
and isolate individuals infected with Ebola, then track down those who had come
into contact with them. Our call center software and the infrastructure around
it played a crucial role in curbing the outbreak and saving lives in West
Africa.
