In 2018 we built a platform for another member of The Hague Humanity Hub, start-up company YAPILI. It was a telemedicine project designed to connect people in developing countries with licensed doctors. YAPILI provides new opportunities for residents of many African countries that help them to get properly qualified services from local and western health professionals in an efficient and confidential way. In those countries where it is difficult and expensive to obtain professional health advice, YAPILI offers an affordable, anonymous and secure channel for seeking medical care.
Every monthly meeting at The Hague Humanity Hub allows us to find strategic partners, build solid partnerships and identify new opportunities to produce innovative software products and solutions which help the world become safer and healthier.
