Health Connect guides patients across Uganda to the nearest primary health center with open capacity, whether they carry a smartphone or a basic phone with no internet at all.
No app. No internet.
Just *384*54936# and a signal.
Demo screens. Facility names and slot numbers are examples.
Most digital health tools assume a smartphone and a data bundle. Health Connect assumes neither — it meets patients on whatever device they're holding.
No app, no internet, no smartphone. Dial a short code from any basic phone and get routed to the nearest facility with an open slot in under a minute.
*384*54936#The same facility data and booking engine, with a searchable list of all 136 districts, slot counts, and saved booking history.

General checkup, maternal & child services, malaria testing, or vaccination.
Ranked by distance and open slots, so you are not sent to a facility that is already full.
A confirmed booking with a reference code, ready to show on arrival.
"Information is medicine. Knowing where to go saves hours of walking, days of waiting, and sometimes lives."
Health Connect asks for the minimum needed to confirm a booking — nothing more.
Your phone number, the service type you request, and the facility you book. If you submit feedback, that message is stored too.
Your phone number identifies your booking and lets the facility confirm your appointment. Nothing is used for advertising.
Data is stored on Health Connect's own server, not shared with third parties, and used solely to operate the booking system.
Whether you're a health facility, a district health officer, or just curious about the project — reach out.
