Report
My final project is on opening a prenatal center in a country in Africa most precisely in Cameroon, where we will mostly be taking care of expecting mothers and kids. While working on my project I realized that there are various elements that need to be considered when we want to determine a price for such a service. First, the type of delivery (Vaginal, C-section), Second, the medications, will the patient be taking an epidural or not, and lastly, the type of room and hospital. So, we came to realize that an uncomplicated vaginal delivery in a public hospital will cost you between 20,000 Fcfa and 40,000 Fcfa which is between $33 and $66 USD. You will see that this is not significant because that’s like an hour of work but in a country where the minimum salary is $104 USD that’s like half a month of work and guess what happens when you have a c-section or take an epidural? Many do not go that route because they can’t afford it and some die of exhaustion. Like I said in one of my posts, we still want to remain human while doing business, so our plan is to have a very reasonable price for quality service. Hence our decision to start a sponsorship program where the family will pay maybe half of the full price or even less and a sponsor or donations from people and organizations will cover the rest. This is a one-of-a-kind in that region and that being said and still at the genesis of the project we can say for sure what the exact price will be. Healthcare insurance is nonexistent there I will say. So our plan to keep people coming and loyal is of course the sponsorship program we want to launch and of course, the service of reference we will offer to all patients without distinction.
