Important information for the 5th International African Palliative Care... Dear conference delegate With only one week to go, The African Palliative Care Association (APCA) and the Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care...

Ever wondered about developing software to help capture data or improve your efficiency? Work at an NGO or Social Enterprise?

This is your chance! We're testing our developers and want some ideas for new projects. More info here: http://honexus.com/?p=90

A terrifying worst-case scenario projection for Liberia and Sierra Leone (not including Guinea!); 1.4 million cases of the Ebola virus by January 20, 2015. With a mortality rate of ~50% that is 700,000 deaths.

On the other hand it is important to note ***this is only a projection and a worst-case projection at that***.

The best-case scenario is the epidemic will almost be ended by the same date (January 20, 2015).

With the United States Government committing 3,000 troops and medical equipment this takes us a step closer to the best-case scenario, although is not enough in itself. We all hope the international community increases its response to help.

Ebola Cases Could Reach 1.4 Million in 4 Months, C.D.C. Estimates A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Tuesday gave worst- and best-case estimates for Liberia and Sierra Leone based on computer modeling.

Today African Palliative Care Association & Honexus Uganda took a field trip to Gombe Hospital. The hospital is refreshingly well managed despite being in the resource-poor public sector. We look forward to rolling out some of our software next week!

Honexus thoroughly enjoys working with African Palliative Care Association (APCA). The enthusiasm and passion of the staff is undeniable.

Honexus and APCA have formally signed the partnership agreement to combine palliative care and information and communication technology (ICT) expertise to improve the conditions of those suffering from life-limiting illnesses.

"Our goal is to provide the best possible care for the patient and his or her family and give unparalleled transparency and accountability to our stakeholders."

A sample of some hardware Honexus uses to help manage pharmaceutical stocks in Kampala - wouldn't mind one of these myself!

Met with Patrick Bitature, the Honorary Australian Consulate for Uganda, and Joel Bellenson from Simba Telecom this afternoon. Some excellent insights from both of them about business, information technology and health in Uganda. We appreciate your time and will be in touch again soon!

"See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil."

Patients have no easy method for reporting wrong-doings at clinics. Whether or not the higher levels of the health industry want to see, hear or speak of mismanagement, corruption or malpractice they are unable to efficiently research this information. We want to change this.

A lot has changed since we first started and it will undoubtedly continue to change, but that is what makes Honexus different.

With high-capacity data networks such as 3G and now 4G LTE being installed it seems Lower Income Countries ("LIC's") are skipping expensive land lines and it is not hard to see why. The implications and opportunities of this are prominently in our minds when designing our software for mass-scale use.

The Predominance of Mobile Networks in LIC’s | honexus.com One of the pleasant surprises we have had since starting Honexus has been the realisation of how advanced mobile networks are in lower-income countries. While the hardware market for new laptops and desktops is struggling, the mobile devices market has exponentially grown since its first introductio...
