This is Simon Pierre Gabo Gahou.
Since 2018, he has cycled through Gagnoa, south-central Côte d’Ivoire, caring for 60 households as a community health worker (CHW).
He kept track of every family, every pregnancy, and every child on paper.
That is until a Community Health Toolkit-powered app called SanteComCIV changed everything.
Now, Simon Pierre has a tool that guides disease diagnosis and referral, flags who needs urgent care, and gives recognition and visibility to those like him on the frontlines of care.
“Everything is quicker with the application,” he says.
The system is now deployed across nearly half the country. Over 8,200 CHWs like Simon Pierre use it to deliver quality care to 6.3 million people.
And the results tell an incredible story: 94% of supervisors say that the tool supports better clinical decision-making, and over 90% of households reported increased use of health services.
This is what transformative tech looks like when it’s developed with the communities it serves.
