According to Karunwi, “Lack of health awareness has been a major cause of the number of deaths reported in Nigeria yearly. There is a clear need to identify an approach to creating public health awareness in a rather effective manner in order to reduce the number of loss of lives caused by ignorance in Nigeria and Africa.

CureChat Ltd pitches their new startup under the limelight that people nowadays have easier access to the internet and new technology than in the past, which can be helpful in creating more awareness on public health. Both teens and adults are obsessed with their smartphones and clearly show a higher tendency to use new technology to gain access to information and seek professional advice.

“The CureChat App creates a platform in which patients can directly chat with doctors on their smartphones to be educated on health matters. It gives patients the opportunity to communicate confidently with health professional and fosters boldness to eventually and most importantly visit a hospital” Karunwi added.

The CureChat App provides a promising means to break silence among patients and the health conscious in the target group by allowing anonymous chat in which they can openly discuss their doubts and health challenges with doctors.
