Important guidance
Clear support, clear responsibilities.
SokoAI helps make healthcare placements and collaboration easier to understand and coordinate without replacing the host institution or the relevant authorities.
1 · Understand what the host needs
We help you understand the documentation and placement requirements provided by the host and point you to the appropriate official process where needed.
2 · Get help when an official process applies
Where professional, regulatory, immigration or academic approvals are required, we can help you understand the next steps on request. Final decisions remain with the relevant institutions and authorities.
3 · SokoAI facilitates — it does not approve
SokoAI does not issue professional licences, immigration permissions, regulatory approvals, academic approvals or donor funding. We help make the process easier to connect, understand and navigate.
