A New Name, An Evolved Mission

Today marks a significant milestone in our journey: BookADoc is becoming Nugli Health.

This isn't just a name change: it's a reflection of how far we've come since launching home healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and where we're headed as we transform healthcare delivery across Ghana.

Why "Nugli"?

The name Nugli means "life" and derives from Nilotic languages, where "nu" means "person" and "ngli" means "breath" or "essence." It's pronounced "noo-glee" and captures the essence of what we do: bringing life-giving healthcare to people in the comfort of their homes.

Healthcare should be life-affirming, personal, and accessible. That's what Nugli Health represents.

From BookADoc to Nugli Health: What's Changed?

Then: BookADoc (2020-2024)

BookADoc started with a simple premise: connect patients with doctors for home visits. It was born out of necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic when people couldn't safely visit hospitals.

We offered:

Doctor home visits for consultations
Basic diagnostics
Medication delivery
Follow-up care

It worked. We served thousands of patients, built a network of healthcare professionals, and proved that home healthcare could work in Ghana.

But we also learned that people wanted more.

Real Patient Stories

Margaret's Chronic Disease Management

Margaret, 65, has diabetes and hypertension. Before Nugli Health, managing her conditions meant monthly trips to the hospital: a 2-hour ordeal involving traffic, waiting rooms, and exhaustion.

Now, a Nugli Health nurse visits her home twice monthly to:

Check her blood pressure and blood sugar
Review her medications
Collect blood samples for HbA1c testing
Provide dietary counseling
Alert her doctor if anything's concerning

"It's so much easier," Margaret says. "I don't have to waste a whole day at the hospital. The nurse comes to me, we talk, she checks everything, and I'm done in 30 minutes. My health has actually improved because I'm more consistent with care."

Akwasi's Post-Surgery Recovery

Akwasi, 42, had knee surgery. His orthopedic surgeon recommended physiotherapy three times weekly for 6 weeks.

Getting to a physiotherapy clinic while recovering from knee surgery would have been nearly impossible. Instead, a Nugli Health physiotherapist came to his home.

"Recovery was so much smoother," Akwasi reports. "The therapist brought equipment, worked with me in my living room, and taught my wife how to help me between sessions. I'm back to playing football now."

Efua's Newborn Care

Efua, a first-time mother, was overwhelmed after bringing her baby home from the hospital. Breastfeeding was difficult, she wasn't sure if the baby was feeding enough, and she was exhausted.

A Nugli Health maternal-child nurse visited three times in the first week:

Assessed the baby's health and weight gain
Helped Efua with breastfeeding techniques
Answered all her questions
Provided emotional support
Connected her with a lactation consultant via telemedicine

"I don't know what I would have done without that support," Efua says. "Having someone come to the house, check on us, and reassure me made all the difference."

Why Home Healthcare Matters

Home healthcare isn't just convenient: it's often better healthcare.
