The problem they solve
Across Africa, millions of women face persistent barriers to quality healthcare from high costs, long travel distances, and limited-service availability to social stigma around sexual and reproductive health. Low-income and blue-collar workers often lack employer-supported healthcare, leading to untreated conditions, preventable absenteeism, and significant health inequities.

● Virtual medical consultations via low-bandwidth channels
● Contraceptive subscription services
● A full online pharmacy
● At-home STI testing kits, reducing stigma and improving early detection
● Employee health benefits for blue-collar workers
Its combination of clinical care, education, and product distribution ensures continuous support across a woman’s health journey.
