Three Nigerian students studying in the United Kingdom have launched “Sandfortcare“, a groundbreaking healthcare startup to ensure quality care for elderly parents back home in Nigeria. 

The founders, Damilola Olaopa, Hameed Abdulrahman, and Isatayo Samuel, are trying to bridge the gap between children living abroad and their ageing parents who often lack adequate support.

The idea for Sandfortcare was born out of a tragic experience. One of the founders, a healthcare assistant in the UK, faced the devastating loss of his father in Nigeria. Despite dedicating himself to caring for others, he couldn’t be there for his parent due to the geographical distance. This poignant moment prompted the trio to create a solution to provide personalised and compassionate healthcare services for elderly Nigerians.

The Startup focuses on Nigerians living in the UK, offering peace of mind to children concerned about their parents’ well-being.

How the Sandfortcare works

Sandfortcare provides remote consultations, allowing parents to connect with healthcare professionals even when their children are far away. The startup operates on a monthly subscription fee model. Parents in Nigeria become beneficiaries of the service, while their children abroad sponsor the subscriptions. Each parent receives a personalised care and support plan based on their unique needs. Regular health checks, nutrition guidance, and meal planning ensure their well-being.

Sandfortcare ensures timely prescription refills, preventing any lapses in medication. The family member residing in the UK (the sponsor) receives timely wellness reports, informing them about their parents’ health.

While Sandfortcare currently caters to Nigerians in the UK, the founders have ambitious expansion plans. They aim to extend their services to other countries across Europe and North America, including the United States and Canada. Damilola Olaopa emphasised, “For now, the startup is for Nigerians in the Diaspora, especially in the UK. However, we are actively exploring opportunities beyond our current scope.”

How to Get Sandfortcare Started

Visit the Sandfortcare website at Sandfortcare.com.Register and create an account. Select your parents’ preferred hospital from over 4800 listed options. Authorise their personalised care plan.

Sandfortcare is not just a healthcare startup; it’s a heartfelt endeavour to ensure that ageing parents receive the care they deserve, regardless of geographical boundaries. As these three students continue to make waves in the industry, their commitment to family and compassion shines brightly.

About the team behind the startup

The team behind Sandfortcare is composed of three Nigerian students who are currently pursuing their Master’s degrees in the United Kingdom. Here’s a brief overview of the team:

Damilola Olaopa: He founded Sandfortcare and is the driving force behind the startup’s vision. Damilola conceived the idea for Sandfortcare after a personal experience where a colleague who works as a healthcare assistant in the UK lost his father back in Nigeria. This event highlighted the need for reliable healthcare services for older people, especially those whose children live abroad.

Hameed Abdulrahman: As a co-founder, Hameed brings his expertise and passion for healthcare to the team. His role involves overseeing the development of personalised care plans and ensuring that the services provided meet the highest standards of quality and compassion.

Isatayo Samuel: Also a co-founder, Isatayo’s contributions are crucial to the operational aspects of Sandfortcare. He focuses on the logistics of connecting Nigerian parents with healthcare providers and managing the remote consultation services offered by the startup.

The team’s combined efforts have resulted in a startup dedicated to offering personalised and compassionate healthcare and support services to the parents of Nigerians living in the UK. Their goal is to ensure that parents in Nigeria receive the highest quality of care tailored to their unique needs, allowing their children in the UK to have peace of mind knowing their parents are in good health condition.
