Care delivery
What happened to the patient?
Clinically driven and correctable under governance: a mistake can be put right, and the correction is visible.
Care delivery in detailA healthier Cameroon
One patient.One health identity.Connected care.
CHS is a health-system vision for one identity and connected, person-centred care across Cameroon.
Built independently by Obosu · Not commissioned or operated by government
The starting point
The record stays in the building
A patient's history stays where it was written. Move between a health centre, a district hospital and a referral hospital and it does not move with them. Every encounter starts from nothing: the same questions, the same tests, the same guesses about medicines already tried.
The cost is paid in repeated investigations, avoidable admissions, and decisions made without information that already exists somewhere else.
The system
Two pillars. One national foundation.
The two pillars are peers: neither is a module of the other, and both draw on the same identity, permissions and audit trail.
Coverage operations
Who was entitled, who owes what, was the provider paid?
History is never overwritten: a changed amount keeps the original and records an adjustment.

The CHS Health Card
What a patient actually holds
The physical card is the offline fallback. It identifies a person; it proves no entitlement. That distinction is deliberate: a card that proved entitlement would become a document people lend each other.
How the platform works
The platform
What it changes, depending on who you are
For patients
Your record follows you. You are not asked again for what you have already said, and what you owe is told to you before care rather than after.
For clinicians
What has already been done is visible: history, allergies, medicines, results. You record care; you never construct a claim.
For facilities
Claims build themselves from recorded care, and the gap between what was approved and what was paid is visible at all times, facility by facility.
For programmes and insurers
Rules are data, not code. Decisions are traceable: who, when, why, the value before and the value after.
Start here
Three ideas, in the right order.
First understand the health-system concept. Then see the platform built to operate it. Finally, understand where CSU connects.
