52% of the world can’t access essential healthcare: we’re a business that does something about it. Join us.
We focus on access to health products and services in emerging markets through a three-part model; focusing on collecting insights on community’s health needs, running targeted health campaigns (education, screening, etc) and managing the distribution of a range of essential medicines and health products.
Why work with us? We are challenging established business norms, with a new value proposition to build a socially-minded business model for half the planet. You get to be creative, move fast, own truly important things, grow, learn, and help people. We’re not a charity, we are redesigning how affordable healthcare is delivered through truly innovative business and service delivery models.
We already work with over half of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and have footholds in markets across Southeast Asia, India and Africa. We will be expanding rapidly over the next year and entering a number of new regions and markets.
We’re just getting started though, so get onboard: do something that matters.
