Due to a lack of information about patients' medical histories, doctors often find it difficult to provide appropriate care, which can lead to dramatic situations. To address this situation in Côte d'Ivoire, she set up a dedicated system.

Founded in 2016, Pass Santé Mousso offers a digital medical record system that allows patients to store all their medical and personal information in one place, accessible at any time via a web and mobile application. It also includes physical tools such as a bracelet, medallion, and card to facilitate access to medical information in case of emergencies.

Pass Santé Mousso’s mission is to “address the growing challenges of managing medical data and improve the quality of care, particularly in emergency situations. Our goal is to make healthcare more accessible and personalized through advanced digital solutions,” as stated on the company’s LinkedIn page.

The idea for Pass Santé Mousso emerged after a series of tragic events. Having suffered from recurring medical crises, Corine Maurice Ouattara once found herself in a hospital where, due to a lack of information, a doctor gave her the wrong treatment, leaving her bedridden for two days. In 2014, a young girl who had been assaulted in Côte d'Ivoire died because of inadequate care, which was partly due to the absence of medical information. These incidents motivated Ouattara to launch this project to prevent such situations from happening again.

Corine Maurice Ouattara also serves as the president of the Digital Health Association in Côte d'Ivoire, an organization dedicated to developing digital health solutions in the country. 

She holds a degree in health information systems management from the National Institute of Health Training in Côte d'Ivoire, along with a law degree from the University of Abidjan. Before venturing into entrepreneurship, she worked as a personnel management officer at Etipack-CI, a company specializing in packaging and containers, from 2005 to 2006.

With Pass Santé Mousso, Ouattara has won numerous awards. She secured second place at the Ivorian TECHMOUSSO competition in 2016, third place at the Orange Entrepreneur Social contest in 2018, and was named a laureate of the Outstanding Young Person Award 2018 (TOYP) by the Junior Chamber International of Côte d'Ivoire. Also in 2018, she won second place in the health start-up Awards CASES.
