Project Breaking bad
-
In Bangladesh, access to qualified medical care is severely limited, with just 7 doctors per 10,000 patients on average. This shortage of professional medical care forces families to turn to their local pharmacies.
However, nearly half of these pharmacies are run by staff who lack formal training, relying instead on informal apprenticeships. The result is care that is often unsafe, inconsistent, and expensive, driving a cycle of poor health that communities can’t afford to stay in.
-
Project Breaking Bad works at the frontlines to change this reality.
The project transforms local pharmacies into certified urgent-care micro-hubs through standardised training and clinical support, equipping them to deliver immediate, safe care when it matters most.
18 pharmacies will be equipped with urgent care tools, such as nebulisers, blood pressure monitors, and glucometers, and powered by trained staff trained in first aid, nebulisation, and preliminary health screenings. Where pharmacies now rely on guesswork, they will soon be able to deliver care with confidence.
At the same time, pharmacy owners strengthen their skills, upgrade their earning potential, and become a cornerstone that the community can trust. Each pharmacy will be integrated into Spreeha Foundation’s existing urgent-care network, where they will receive continued support from the NGO. A system built to last.
-
With a £4,100 investment, the project will:
Offer safe, evidence-based care to 18,000 community members
Increase the income of participating pharmacies by 10-12%
Reduce healthcare costs for underserved families through smarter, local healthcare
By cutting irrational drug use, avoiding preventable ER visits through accurate local triage, and minimising transport and time-loss burdens, families will save BDT 1,200 per care episode.
Project An apple a day
-
In Bangladesh, due to a severe shortage of physicians, consultation times average just 48 seconds per patient. In overcrowded, low-cost clinics operating within underserved communities, care is often delivered without access to fundamental data. No medical histories. No drug-reaction records.
This ‘data-blindness’ has real consequences: misdiagnoses, repeated tests, unsafe prescriptions, and financially draining follow-up visits, all caused by poor initial data.
HealthOS, a digital ecosystem built by Spreeha, addresses this cycle of financial strain and inconsistent care. The platformends ‘data-blindness’ by allowing physicians to schedule appointments, create prescriptions, retrieve health records, and receive alerts on potential drug interactions.
-
At the core of Project Apple a Day is HealthOS, a digital system that replaces guesswork with data. It provides medical practitioners with an opportunity to digitise prescription writing, create electronic health records, and work with confidence.
40 doctors across 30 urgent care centres will be onboarded onto HealthOS and trained to integrate digital tools into their practice. This is more than digitisation, it's an informed, connected, and strengthened care infrastructure.
Care centres won’t be left to figure it out alone. Spreeha will provide daily technical oversight, troubleshooting, and six months of operational support based on physician feedback.
-
With a £3,950 investment, the project will:
Empower 40 doctors with smart tools and reliable data
Create electronic health records for 12,000 patients
Increase doctor productivity by 10% through streamlined workflows
Reduce unsafe and duplicate prescriptions by 10-25%
And thats just the starting point. Once established, HealthOS can roll out to more centres across Spreeha’s urgent care network. Over time, it will evolve into a patient-facing platform which offers follow-ups, reminders, and continuity of care to low-income families.
