225M people in Africa have a smartphone today (I think that's like 20%?): https://qz.com/748354/smartphone-use-has-more-than-doubled-i...

Meanwhile in some places there's only 1 doctor per 100,000 people: http://mgafrica.com/article/2015-02-05-hullo-where-have-all-...

So yeah, I do think there are probably a lot of people in Africa with a smartphone but not a doctor.



You can get a smartphone in the US for 20USD I can only imagine that number is lower in Africa.

In support of your point.
