SanctuaryHealth 🏥

Know what your health will cost — before it costs you everything.

SanctuaryHealth is a web tool that helps low-income Nigerians find out the cost of treatment before visiting a clinic — reducing cost-related health avoidance and dangerous self-medication.

Built during the Studio1 LaunchPad Cohort 2 Hackathon by Team 2 (MedTech).

The Problem

Many Nigerians avoid hospitals because they can't predict what a visit will cost. When cost is uncertain, people default to roadside chemists, self-medication, or doing nothing — leading to preventable deaths.

---

The Solution

A simple, no-login web tool where a user inputs their symptoms and gets:

• 💰 Estimated treatment costs at nearby clinics and hospitals
• 🏥 Affordable alternatives — generic drugs, PHCs, community health workers
• 🏠 Home care guidance for minor, non-emergency conditions
