Find Care user manual
Last updated · 2026-05-11
This guide explains what Find Care does and how to use it, step by step, in plain language.
Find Care helps you find nearby hospitals fast, compare options, and start navigation in-app. It is a discovery and routing tool — not a medical advice service.
What Find Care does
- Find hospitals near your current location.
- Show distance-sorted results (closest first).
- Let you filter by type (Hospital, Clinic, Maternity, Centre) and search radius.
- Open a hospital detail page with address, phone, and hours.
- Start in-app navigation to a selected hospital.
- Save hospitals on your device for quick access later.
Before you start
To get the best results, allow location permission when your device asks. If location is off, some nearby and route features may be limited.
On first use, you may see onboarding prompts (for example a short safety notice or optional name prompt). Read and continue to enter the main experience.

Finding hospitals
When search opens, hospitals appear in a list sorted by distance. Use filters at the top to narrow results quickly.

- Radius filters: 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, 10 km, 25 km, 50 km, or custom radius.

Hospital details page
Tap any hospital card to open details. From there you can:
- View full address and hospital type.
- Check phone and opening-hours status when available.
- Use the call action to contact the hospital.
- Use the navigate action to open the route screen.
- Use the save button (heart/bookmark) to keep it for later.
Saved tab
The Saved tab shows hospitals you bookmarked.
- If you have no saves yet, the page shows an empty state hint.
- Saved items stay on your current device unless your product version adds account sync in the future.
Profile tab
Use Profile to manage personal app settings:
- Set or update your display name for local greeting.
- Change appearance/theme.
- Quickly jump to saved hospitals.
- Open app info pages (disclaimer, privacy, support/contact).
Privacy and safety basics
- Find Care is built anonymous-first for core use.
- Location is used for distance and routing features; manage it from device permissions anytime.
- Find Care does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment advice.
- In emergencies, call emergency services immediately (for example 112 in Nigeria).
