# OpenAfya > OpenAfya is a transactional digital health platform connecting patients, doctors, hospitals, and ministries of health across Africa — find a provider, book an appointment, and manage care online. OpenAfya brings together independent doctors, affiliated practitioners, hospitals, and public-health institutions on one platform. Patients can search verified providers, book and pay for appointments, and keep a portable medical record. Healthcare professionals get a lightweight mini-SIH (consultations, prescriptions, exam requests, certificates, vaccinations) and operational tools (agenda, secretariat, hospital administration). ## Pages - [Home](/): Platform overview — find a doctor or hospital, learn how OpenAfya works. - [About](/about): Mission, vision, and the team behind OpenAfya. - [Find a doctor](/doctors): Search and filter verified doctors by specialty, city, and availability. - [Find a hospital](/hospitals): Browse hospitals and clinics with services, equipment, and contact information. - [For health professionals](/professionnels): Information for doctors, clinics, and hospitals joining the platform. - [Universal Health Coverage](/ministry/csu): Information page on the DRC's Couverture Santé Universelle programs. - [Careers](/careers): Open positions and how we work — building healthtech for Africa. ## Optional - [Book an appointment](/booking): Booking entry point (requires choosing a provider). - [Sign in](/login): Account sign-in for patients, professionals, hospitals, secretariat, and ministry users. - [Create an account](/signup): New patient or professional registration.
