🏥 Healthcare for All

Jacaranda uses a hub-and-spoke model to provide standardized care. This keeps their costs at a fraction of what typical private hospitals charge.

They’ve already served more than 15,000 patients across their facilities.

They maintain strict safety protocols to ensure patient health stays the priority.

Data-driven care. They also use a digital platform to track patient health journeys and catch potential risks early.
💰 What’s with the $$$?

The $600,000 will be used to launch new clinics in peri-urban neighborhoods, and upgrade equipment for their existing locations.
-
It would also help their digital health tracking tools to reach more families.
