## What It Does
Carefinder solves a real problem — finding reliable hospital information in Nigeria is hard. This app brings together a searchable, filterable, and shareable directory of Nigerian hospitals with an admin dashboard for managing entries.
**Public users can:**
- Search hospitals by name, city, or LGA
- Filter by specialty and ownership type (public/private)
- Find hospitals near their current location
- View hospital details including specialties, visiting hours, and description
- Export search results as a CSV file
- Share search results via a link or email
- Leave ratings and reviews
**Admins can:**
- Add, edit, and delete hospital entries
- Upload hospital photos
- Write hospital descriptions in Markdown
- Moderate user reviews before they go live
