Why Sagma Health?

Our Mission

Our name comes from sagma, the ancient word for a saddle: the piece that connects rider and horse so they move together. That's what we want to be for healthcare in Nigeria. We're building the connection between providers, so a patient's health history follows them from one clinic, hospital or city to the next, and no clinician has to treat a patient blind.

What We're Building

We're starting with an electronic health record designed for continuity of care. It gives providers one accurate record per patient, shared securely with other authorized providers. We're developing it alongside Nigerian clinics and hospitals, because the people who deliver care should shape the tools they use.

What We Value

Patients first. Every decision starts with what makes care safer and more continuous for the people being treated.

Integrity with data. Health information is personal. We protect it, use it only for care, and are open about how it's handled.

Built with providers. We design with clinicians and administrators, not around them.
