Until november this year, nurses and peer educators were still working and registering patient files, clinic activities and managing medicine stocks manually.
Saturday the 17th of September was a very special day for North Star, all teams have been mobilized during the last months to prepare the roll out of the new Comets (Corridor Medical Transfer System) version.
Thanks to the great work and implication of the teams, it has been a real success today.
All the centers located in 8 different countries are now working with this new version of Comets which contains enhancements about referral clinics management, inventory stock management and new reporting functionality …
North Star Alliance is offering healthcare services to mobile populations, especially truck drivers and their direct and indirect contacts.
To reach those mobile populations, North Star is opening clinics called "Roadside Wellness Centres" (RWCs) located at hotspots along the most important transport corridors in sub- saharan Africa.
North Star has developped in partnership with ORTEC an IT system (COMETS) that extends the continuum of care, collects essential data and reinforces quality insurance.
