Doctors Explain Launches OneWomb – A Digital Health Platform for Maternal & Child Care in Africa

📍 Nairobi, Kenya — In a bold move set to transform maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) across Africa, Doctors Explain Digital Health Co. LTD. today launched OneWomb—a groundbreaking digital platform that delivers smarter, faster, and more inclusive healthcare access to the continent’s most vulnerable populations.

🌍 What Is OneWomb?

OneWomb is an all-in-one digital ecosystem providing:

• 🔹 Remote health tools like due date calculators, jaundice checkers, growth monitoring, and e-prescriptions
• 🔹 MNCH-focused eCommerce featuring mama kits, diagnostic devices, and nutritional products
• 🔹 Health forums and support communities for mothers, midwives, and health workers
• 🔹 A top-rated specialist directory for verified maternal and child health professionals
• 🔹 Multilingual education resources and interactive checklists to improve health literacy

The platform is accessible via mobile, desktop, and USSD, ensuring no one is left behind.

“OneWomb is more than a platform—it’s a promise to every mother and child that they matter.“
— Dr. Levi Cheruo Cheptora, Founder & CEO, Doctors Explain

🚨 Why Now? The Hidden Cost of Poor Access

The launch comes at a time when Sub-Saharan Africa is grappling with:

• ⚠️ 96% of global malaria deaths
• ⚠️ Over 150 million people pushed into poverty by healthcare costs
• ⚠️ High maternal and infant mortality rates
• ⚠️ Untreated mental health issues and poor developmental outcomes in children

As Dr. Cheptora explained during the launch event in Nairobi, “We’re here to break the cycle of delayed care, misinformation, and preventable death through technology that listens, learns, and empowers.”

💡 The Tech Behind OneWomb

Backed by a robust Multi-Hospital Management Information System (MHMIS), AI-powered health analytics, and multilingual telemedicine, OneWomb is designed to scale across East Africa. Features include:

• 🔒 Data encryption and GDPR/HIPAA compliance
• 📞 WhatsApp & USSD consultations for low-bandwidth users
• 🧠 AI symptom checkers to improve triage accuracy
• 💬 Multilingual chatbots and culturally localized content

Doctors Explain is already working in Kenya and preparing to expand into Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
