Financial tools that replace lost aid for African clinics
Mozambique health clinics must contain malaria, cholera, and unsafe water outbreaks after floods while facing sharp cuts in US aid and pressure to self-finance their entire care systems.
SustainaClinic gives public health facilities simple invoicing for nominal patient services, automated grant application templates, expense tracking tied to specific diseases, and a local sponsorship marketplace so they can fund malaria and cholera containment without depending on foreign aid.
