Moja

The ‪app‬, MoJa, helps save lives through ‪mobile‬ ‪technology‬. MoJa is a mobile app that creates the avenue and ‪incentives‬ for ‪volunteering‬ as a ‪blood‬ ‪donor‬. With a cloud back-end, the National Blood Service is able to keep its stock replenished, search, match and conveniently contact ‪inspired‬ donors in case of ‪emergencies‬.

Statistics indicate that in Ghana, the National Blood Service is required to collect 250,000 units of blood annually, to make blood and blood components available and affordable in the country. Only 25.4% of this is annually collected, leaving a huge deficit.Last year, 2014, this percentage saw an increase to 32%, which still leaves a huge deficit.

Users of the mobile app have access to free medical tips, virtual clinics and advice from qualified medical practitioners to improve their general health and wellbeing, further incentivizing use of the platform. MoJa helps save lives through mobile technology, especially those of mothers in labor, accident victims and surgery patients. MoJa, in full use, is the first innovation of its kind in Ghana, and 233apps Ltd aims to expand the application to the rest of West Africa, other low- and middle- income countries and to the wider world.
