Where DawaHQ pulls ahead: real ICU & critical care

Most hospital systems — including Hyella — stop at the ward. DawaHQ is one of the very few Nigerian platforms built for critical care, with tooling almost no competitor markets:

NEWS2 early-warning + automatic escalation
A deteriorating patient is flagged and escalated, not left unread on a chart.
SOFA organ-failure scoring
Organ dysfunction tracked across the ICU stay.
ICU, ventilator & dialysis charting
Structured critical-care documentation, not free text.
Live bed management
Occupancy that always matches who is actually admitted.
Blood transfusion monitoring
Timed observations and reaction flagging.
Operating theatre & Aldrete recovery
Readiness scoring before a patient leaves PACU.
