What Changed at Sinai Medical Center After the Ilara Partnership

Sinai Medical Center is the newest clinic that underwent a complete transformation through a partnership with Ilara Health." "" "When I first met the owner of Sinai Medical, Gilbert, a clinical officer who began the clinic in 2018, he told me that he strongly believed he could offer better health services to the community but he missed access to financing, quality medical devices and steady stock of pharmaceuticals, and that he needed help with growing his business. He initially purchased a hematology analyzer from Ilara Health in March 2021 and has made steady payments for it over time." "" "Ilara Health’s recent intervention on the clinic included physical renovation to make better use of internal space, improved lighting, adequate external signage, digitization of patient records, integration of a financial management system, and continuous training on digital systems and Ministry of Health-approved protocols. Ilara Health also improved supply chain modalities for medication and consumables." "As a result of these changes, the clinic has seen an improved work environment for healthcare workers, easier follow-up on patients through digitized records, visibility for the clinic owner even when he is not physically present, accurate lab results, increased visibility in the community leading to more patients and increased revenue, improved efficiency of medication supply and reduced out-referrals, contributing to increased gross profit for the facility.
