Pesinet is a not-for-profit international organization delivering a simple prevention and early-care system for countries lacking medical resources with the objective of driving a systemic change in the healthcare situation of low-income countries and reducing child mortality.
Their mission is to avoid complications of benign diseases that still account for more than 50% of child mortality causes in Africa. They need to reduce maternal and child mortality.
A unique package of healthcare services :
- A periodic health follow-up backed to a distant database
- A medical examination for free in case of illness and access to discounted medication
- A mutual health insurance system
- A hygiene and sanitation awareness-raising program
In 2009, the BNP Paribas Foundation and BICIM, the BNP Paribas subsidiary in Mali, supported the development of an enhanced version of the technological application used by Pesinet for remote medical monitoring and processing the field data collected, including an impact monitoring system.
Pesinet plan to deploy the service in other countries suffering from high child and maternal mortality, in priority in other Sub-Saharan countries.
