We designed an approach to assist people get attended to by building a system that allows users register and log into the system, book appointments, view doctors and equipment used or available in the existing system. Joint Application Development (JAD) was the system methodology used, this is because it involves continuous interaction with the users and different designers of the system in  development. Quantitative and qualitative research methodology were employed, and method of data collection used were questionnaire, interview, and internet. The resultant website developed using JavaScript, CSS, PHP, HTML, and MySQL allows users register and log in, schedule doctor’s appointment, and book surgery.
