Robertson Global Health Solutions Announces Partnership With Social Network MXit

MXit signs MOU to offer RHealth Advisor consumer mobile application and services via cloud computing to users of MXit social networking services

SAGINAW, Mich., Sept. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Robertson Global Health Solutions Corporation (OTCBB: RHSC) and Montana Healthcare Solutions Pty Ltd have announced today that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with MXit, a free online mobile instant messenger and social network platform based in South Africa. Robertson Global and MXit entered into an understanding to deliver RHealth Advisor consumer mobile web accessed using cloud computing as an add-on service to provide health education and screening based on the severity of possible conditions with helpful steps on how to receive care. Robertson Global and MXit recognize significant potential synergies through the integration of RHealth Advisor into MXit and the provision of an RHealth Advisor online consumer offering to be made available to its current user base in South Africa, Africa and globally to those countries geared for trade in its virtual currency. MXit has a global registered user base of over 40 million, with the majority of these users residing in South Africa and Indonesia. It records about 45,000 to 50,000 new registered user accounts per day and processes 750 million messages sent and received per day. The application is accessible internationally and enjoyed by users in over 220 countries daily.

"This is an exciting partnership for us, especially since it speaks directly to our strategy to use mobile social networking to address challenges in the healthcare system. We believe that the value created for MXit users will be meaningful and will enhance the lives of our global community."
Herman Heunis, CEO and founder of MXit

The parties have joined in a Memorandum of Understanding and have outlined a strategic relationship. Robertson Global and MXit are interested in exploring a commercial joint venture whereby a consumer version of RHealth Advisor Mobile Web, including both the RHealth Advisor screening application as well as the health tips application, is provided for MXit's existing client base as additional unique content for these users to consume.

"We are thrilled to be working with a progressive company such as MXit Lifestyle.  The access to such a large user base will enable us to move forward on the path to our vision of saving lives globally. "
Dr. Joel Robertson, Founder and CEO of Robertson Global Health Solutions

Consumers access the system via cloud computing and will able to screen for conditions to know when and how quickly they need to get to their local clinic or hospital.  They will also be able to retrieve the latest health tips consistent with evidence-based medical research to improve individual health knowledge, performance, wellness and prevention measures. Robertson Global and MXit believe that providing consumers with a tool easily accessed using cloud computing to better manage their own health is the first step in reducing the burden on the overall health system. In South Africa and throughout the world, it is very common for consumers to wait too long to receive care because they have a lack of knowledge and resources to seek screening. A solution like RHealth Advisor Mobile Web will help screen consumers and identify those that need treatment. This will help the healthcare system reach people before their illness progresses, allocate its resources to know where health extension workers should focus, and provide prevention measures to consumers to avoid getting sick, thus decreasing healthcare costs and providing better quality of care.

Robertson Global and MXit are eager and excited to release this solution and have already begun planning the integration development and product launch to meet these benefits within the consumer health segment in South Africa and around the world.
