The challenge

As the COVID-19 pandemic reached Bangladesh, there was an urgent need to provide access to expert medical advice and information on the virus to people around the country, but few organisations with the scale or reach to do this effectively.

Our challenge was to help Maya to reach people who urgently needed health information and advice but were unable to access it via the usual routes due to the pandemic.

The impact enterprise

Maya is a digital health and well-being platform that gives users access to expert health advice and information via their smartphone.

The idea

Increase Maya’s capabilities to meet rapidly rising demand, so that more people can access critical health advice and information during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The implementation

By increasing subscription numbers, Maya will reduce the price of the service, making the service more affordable and giving access to lower income users in rural and peri-urban areas, who often struggle to access health advice.
