Access to quality healthcare remains a significant challenges across Africa. But, healthcare data in Africa does exist, you just need to know how to find them!
My guest for this week’s episode is David, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Kapsule, the largest healthcare data provider in Africa, based by StartupBootcamp, FoundersFactory Africa, Google, and Villgro, to name a few.
Kapsule aggregates healthcare data from Hospitals, Insurers, and Pharmacies to build a clear picture of healthcare access and demand across multiple African countries.
