Health care has been a huge problem, expensive and inaccessible for most of our population and the hardest hit is our rural communities. Many not only spend the little they have to pay for the precious service, but also have to incur other expenses of going back and forth to health centers for "lucky" appointments if they could find a doctor. So why not make an application that alerts the community/patients when their appointments are due, the doctors availability,track there progress and give them information on health matters that will improve their livelihoods, this will also save them the extra coin and time they use "to take chances" of getting a doctor. The system is a simple portal that disburses sms to alert patients of appointments ,doctor availability and also track there medical status.The patients also get a chance to interact with the system by sending sms.

The simplicity of the system to use sms platform is the thing.With high mobile telephony penetration and use of low end phones by rural community, smartClinic is the solution.
